Writer Applications (do not apply to legitimate sites unless you are qualified)

Writers: some appear to be accustomed to applying to model custom writing websites and getting accepted without hassle. Some sites do not ask for proof of academic qualifications and do not take the time to assess applicants' English language writing skills. Not all are like that. Know that:

1) you will not be accepted by legitimate sites unless you send in proof of your academic qualifications

2) you will not be accepted by legitimate sites unless you know how to write English.

Why take it so personally when you are rejected? You will be rejected if you:

1) apply under the name of a DECEASED individual and submit the articles published under that person's name as samples of your own writing. Some of us are not stupid and take the trouble to check

2) if you cannot write a simple, error-free, email

3) if you do not submit a scanned copy of your degree and excuse your failure to do so by claiming that a) it went missing after a HURRICANE, b) your university issues certificates a year after graduation and c) you do not feel comfortable sharing confidential information (for the life of me, I do not understand how the submission of a scanned copy of your certificate can be interpreted as an intrusion of privacy).

These, and many more, are ACTUAL excuses which ACTUAL applicants made when asked for proof that they were, in any way, academically qualified for the position.

Furthermore, none of the legitimate sites are interested in your ELPET, TOEFL. etc scores. If they find your English language skills to be below par, do not respond with abusive emails citing your score on these tests.

Do not apply to legitimate, high-paying, sites unless you are qualified. They will check your qualifications and won't just take your word for it.

That is hilarious.

WRT - as usual you are talking crap.

Many essay sites realise that academic qualificatiins mean very little in an age when retards get degrees, as in the USA, and many other university systems have dumbed down - and when students buy essays to cheat and get their degrees!

The proof of the pudding is in the eating. A legitimate essay site will assess a writer's first essay or test essay - if that is good, then they are accepted; if it is not (and many with top degrees and masters galore are very bad writers) you do not get accepted.

Also, for your information, EFL writers are often much better academically than dumb American writers and their English is better too. If I were an essay company, I would not accept WRT as a writer - just look at your terrible English!

You are.


That's why your sites will never be regarded as legitimate. Applicants sometimes submit test essays which they've lifted from someone else; applicants sometimes get another person to write their test essay.

Besides, dumb dumb, I said
1) Academic qualifications
2) English language skills


Yes :)

Psycho ... respond with another of your maniacal rants.

Really?!?!

[Moved from]: Essay writers - what is the minimum qualifications you can have as an Academic writer

Obviously I'm sure there are lots of illiterate morons of writers out there... But if you want to work for a more recognisable site like [DND*] - is it essential that you have a degree as a minimum?

Some of the sites out there do specify that their writers are required to hold a Master's degree at minimum. However, I am unsure how many of them would actually impose their requirements when selecting their new writers.

Yeah, from a mail-order university. WB, the resident idiot, has 12 such 'degrees'

Hey, Melissa, why have you suddenly returned-after weeks of hiding-to pretend that the challenge that led you to cowardly disappear no longer exists? Here it is again, nutcase: essayscam/forum/ot/challenge-queen-sheba-4120/

I haven't recently applied for a ghostwriting position, but I know someone who applied for a library job and I found a nice cover letter.

There are few privileges in life than to be able to return to one's place of youth and pursue a lifelong career of meaningful vocation.

I would like the opportunity to be able to do just that by applying for a Social Sciences Librarian position with your school. After twelve years of absence, I long to round up my career and use my skills and competencies in ways that make meaningful contribution to a community which I share a history with.

My love for books has sown in me the desire to pursue information science as a career. I have never wavered from this passion and it has informed all my academic and professional choices. I graduated with a BA in Humanities from Perkins College in 2006. Two years after, in 2009 I earned my MA in Library and Information Science from the University of West Virginia. Right now I am now working on finishing my MA in History from the American Science University. I should be able to finish all the requirements of this online course by December of 2010.

For six years I have worked as an archivist/personal assistant to a high profile and nationally prominent retired lawyer. My most important job was to organize and properly archive some 100,000 documents for donation to a college library. I have just completed a 4-month librarian internship at the National Science Public Library in Virginia.

My professional training in library science is anchored on my background in the social sciences. With and undergraduate in Humanities and a forthcoming MA in History and Science, I believe that I am a perfect fit to the position, serving as the guide to a collection of printed knowledge and curating the materials that would best address the needs of both teachers and students.

I am available for an interview at your convenience, and if accepted, can start immediately. I truly look forward to this opportunity, to fulfill my life's passion and come full circle.

Thank you very much.

Applicant

The legit academic writing companies, though few and far between, take the time to review applicant samples and verify resumes. Yes, that means the services cost more, but as we all know, if an offer or price is too good to be true, it probably is. Sadly, Smiley73, your comment is partially correct. Those companies that take on under-educated writers and pay a few dollars per page are even less likely to care about their clients. Companies that value those who work with/for them are more likely to care about the outcomes for their clients. This includes setting limits on free revisions. As a freelancers, I don't mind revision requests within reason. I'm only human and make mistakes like everyone else. I'd be lying to say I never forget something or err in my writing. However, I refuse to work with any company that offers unlimited free revisions and I personally only offer 2 free revisions (within reason). I also refuse to work with any company that will not pay its writers until the customer is satisfied. As most here can verify, many clients simply cannot be satisfied. If we worked under those terms, we'd all go broke! Having said this, I love this industry but I do see negatives in how freelancers are treated by companies that care more about the bottom line than those who do their work for them and those who bring them business (the customer). After all, if a company's writers are happy, it will show in how the interact with clients and, in turn, will yield satisfied clients. Just my 2 cents and we all have our own stories and experiences--good and bad. :)

@writer4life I agree with you. In fact, I recently decided to part ways with the company that I freelanced with for 6 years because of their unlimited revision policy. I know that the work that I do is above par because I reached the 1st Class level Writer position in the company. However, the higher my position got, the more unreasonable the company became. It got to the point where it was no longer the client asking for revisions, but the company itself.

Why did I know it was the company itself? The dead giveaway to me was that the class of the client ended 2 years ago! When I asked them why I was revising a 2 year old paper and who ordered it, the answer that I got was "Just do the revision. The QAD requests you to do it." That told me that they resold the paper without giving me a cut of the profits. This company claimed to be legit, with offices in the US. However, when I personally met with one of the previous owners of the company when the company was thinking of setting up physical offices in the country, there was an admission that the company was in the Ukraine. So I don't know how reliable these addresses are. These U.S. postal addressed are, after all, available for sale online as is the telephone number and email address. I guess my experience is pretty bad.

Don't get me wrong though, I admire the freelancers who were able to make it without the help of a company affiliation. They are the true heroes of the academic outsourcing community. While some companies may be legit, there are still those that prefer to misrepresent themselves both to the clients and the writers.

The problem is that both the legitimate and questionable writing companies currently have a problem keeping their writer seats filled. The pandemic has prevented their more reliable and better skilled writers, regardless of location, from going online to work for one reason or another. So these companies have been forced to practically hire writers off the street. While the tests still exist, these are but a formality these days as the companies struggle to recruit writers these days. The school lockdown gave the writers a chance to try their writing skills in other fields, that ended up paying better. So they flew the coop, so to speak. So these days, some writing companies will hire anybody willing to or showing an interest to work for them.

You're looking to pin your personal problems on something most people are going to want to forget. Way to go.

It is far more difficult now to find an academic writing job. I would not advise that anybody try to apply for a writer's job at the moment. It is not a human writer's market right now. Even the writing companies are shifting their business models to AI, which is far cheaper and more income generating for the business owners. If you have a code that actually churns out a usable, yet simplistic essay, they you can charge for the service, without having to split the earnings with the human writer on the other end.

I agree that tryng to start becoming an academic writer now is inadvisable. The only academic writers who are still able to make a living doing this are those of us who have the benefit of a good reputation that goes back a decade or two and who already had a large and very stable base of clients long before AI became available, despite the fact that AI-written essays are trash.
