I am a copywriter and have been working freelance from home for many years. I have an interview for a permanent role this week and one thing they want is B2B and commercial experience. As a freelancer this is hard to prove.
I am not a business, as such and I tend to work with individuals who own businesses.I do have some some agency type experience where I have worked for large corporations - but always as a freelancer employed by the agency who have the contract.
I am thinking of pointing out that as a freelancer I am a business and that therefore I am in charge of all aspects of maintaining that relationship. Therefore i actually have a level of experience that could be seen as more advanced than average.
This is an area that always lets me down - especially the commercial experience thing.
How do i get around this issue and prove myself in the interview. I can do all other aspects of the role and I am an excellent writer (the core requirement). Although by the state of this post, you might not think so!
