@FreelanceWriter well, I understand, but what I said is being misunderstood. I was saying that experience is assurance, especially when talking about academic writing, because academic writing involves several factors like referencing styles, format, reflective topics, essays, proposals and so on. Now each of these projects need to be written in different styles and sometimes different tones. Now when a writer is applying for a job he speaks about his experience, because by this the recruiter should know that he is aware of all these factors, because no one sends their credentials for a job as an academic writer, especially not to any individual writer or group of writers apart from companies like UVO or Shark. So, it is not possible to know what the person scored during his graduation, which means one cannot really know how good his work was. The only way to let the recruiter know of ones expertise is by highlighting his or her experience and so they attempt to tell the recruiter that they are going to deal with someone who can give them assurance with their work. That is what I am saying, as per the initial post that specifically questioned the reason for writers to speak about their experience and not simply about natural skills and experience.
