Tell us a bit about the kind of writing you're good at, and why? 200 words tops.* We're looking for: Your strengths and weaknesses (in the unlikely event that you might actually have any weaknesses). The type of work you're after. Any top brands or agencies you've worked for. Namedrop. Here's an example: "I am a former print and broadcast journalist turned corporate writer. I have worked on editorial strategy with Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Bartle Bogle Hegarty, Intro, totallylegal.com and the launch of the Ford Focus for Imagination. I can work with any team helping clients identify an appropriate marketing strategy. And I can help supply the tone of voice, planning, research and words to deliver agreed results. I will also make tea and coffee. I like Marmite." Please don't agonise over this bit - it won't go to clients. It just gives us a clearer idea of your background and the type of work you're looking for.
