A Slash In Entry Level Writing Jobs?

This may seem as a rant, but it needs to be said.
Please end the massacre of entry level writing job openings in your business.
I know freelance writers are everywhere, but what happened to a growing relationship with your writer? We, writers, know you want to cut operation costs, but it hurts you if the business relationship is distant with your writers. This may be one writer’s plea, but I have heard many others feel stranded because of the freelance boom. There are so many writers who would like to be a part of your team. For instance, I enjoy working on long-term or ongoing projects than one-time fixes.
Freelance writers and company writers understand the importance of long-term relationships:
– We develop a bond with your organization’s communication style.
– The writer can develop amazing skills working with your marketing/art team.
– An entry level writer is YOUR writer, an advocate, an asset, and a piece of your company.
A balanced ratio of writers and freelancers can keep your costs low as well as develop a strong voice for your business. Keep an open mind in finding others to add different perspectives to your brand. Entry level writing jobs can help you build loyalty with an aspiring business owner.
These are win-win situations. I have played the intern, freelancer, employee, and consultant. Each step signified a growth in my abilities to perform my duties and add value to my employer’s needs. This is a plea to look into the heart of writers around the world. It may be a good idea to outsource to save money, but money has nothing to do with complete loyalty.
Would you prefer an entry level writer who loves your business than one who is indifferent? The indifference can harm the messages you want to give to the public. This is not a stone presentation, but musings of a writer who enjoys building long-term relationships with my employers. I learn about the workings of their organization, gain insight of their vision, become an advocate for their mission, and place my heart in the work I complete.
There are many like me, but you may lose the chance to know them if you end entry level writing job opportunities in your organization.
