Everyone has an excuse for breaking writing deadlines.
The dog died. Car accident. Sick uncle. Dog ate it (same dog). Computer failure. Wedding anniversary. Alien invasion. We’ve heard them all.
I just had two people break deadlines without emailing or calling me to explain why. I terminated both of them. We run a deadline-focused business and we’re trying to get you a job.
We’re former senior recruiters, journalists and professional writers, who work closely with recruiters and employers.
Break deadlines without notification and we terminate immediately. Why?
- It shows the client isn’t professional.
- It shows he or she can’t manage their time.
- It shows getting a job is low on their list of priorities.
- It disrespects the writer or writers.
- It attacks our business model.
- It wastes time we could have spent helping people who are desperate to get a job.
Break a deadline and you’re history.
