Writer

AI killed the content writer interview.

Twelve months ago, a writing sample told us everything. Two paragraphs in, we knew if you could think.

Now every sample reads like it was written by the same mildly competent ghost. Because it was.

If you're a writer applying for jobs right now, this is working against you. Not because you're using AI. Everyone is. It's because your sample looks like everyone else's, and hiring managers have stopped trusting samples entirely.

Here's what gets you hired at No Fluff.

Send the prompt you used. Send the first draft that the model gave you. Send the version you rewrote. Show me the three things you cut and the one line you wrote from scratch because the model couldn't get there.

That's the new portfolio. Not the polished final piece. The evidence that you can recognise a generic draft when you see one, and rewrite it into something better.

The writers we hire aren't the ones who type fastest. They're the ones who edit hardest.

If you're a copywriter stuck in a dead-end job, or fresh out of college and looking for somewhere that will push you, email Vidhi S. at [click apply].

If you'd rather take it easy, ignore this post.

And yes, this post was written by Claude. I rewrote it four times before you saw it.
