Hire great writers
„If you are trying to decide among a few people to fill a position, hire the best writer. It doesn’t matter if that person is a marketer, salesperson, designer, programmer or whatever; their writing skills will pay off. That’s because being a good writer is about more than writing. Clear writing is a sign of clear thinking. Great writers know how to communicate. They make things easy to understand. They can put themselves in someone else’s shoes. They know what to omit. And those qualities you want in any candidate.“

Hire the best writers
„If you are trying to decide among a few people for a position to be filled, hire the best writer. It doesn’t matter if this person is a marketer, salesperson, designer, programmer or whatever; their writing skills will pay off. Because being a good author means more than just writing. Clear writing is a sign of clear thinking. Good writers know how to communicate. They make things easy to understand. They can put themselves in the position of another person. They know what they can leave out. These are qualities that you want to have in every candidate.“
