At last month’s meetup we started talking about the job market. Some people had just started in new roles, others were actively looking, and some were trying to make a whole career shift.
From job-seekers, I heard a few different things:
“I’ve been ghosted mid-way through the hiring process”
“I’ve gone freelance because it was taking too long to find a good full-time opportunity”
And on the recruitment side:
“The jobs are out there, but they’re all at senior or director level”
“I haven’t seen the job market like this in 20 years”.
But we all agreed: It’s weird out there.
Which is what prompted me to bring back the ContentUK jobs board. It was always the first place I looked when I was job-hunting a few years ago.
I loved knowing that all the jobs on the board were suitable for a UK-based content marketer like myself, rather than reading through an exciting job description and realising at the last line they were only looking for US-based applicants (made that mistake multiple times, including actually applying 😭)

Catch you next time!

P.S. I've switched email platform following some "creative differences" with the last one so if this looks wonky, please let me know!
