The idea of writing jobs that let you earn money from home can be appealing, but many people never try fearing they are unqualified.
It’s a common myth that content writers require a degree in English Language, but the truth is that you can find writer’s jobs even if you lack an A-level in the subject. However, this doesn’t mean that you won’t need certain skills to secure work. Read on to see if you have what it takes to start a new career as a content writer.
If I don’t need a degree to write, what do I need?
While many content writers in the UK do have degrees and qualifications, it’s by no means a formal requirement. What is essential is that writers have an excellent command of English. This means strong grammar, punctuation, spelling and knowledge of English. You’ll also need solid comprehensions skills to digest briefs and answer them, researching any topics you’re unfamiliar with.
Without qualifications, how can I prove I can write?
If you don’t have a CV starred with certifications and experience to submit you might wonder how companies can see your skills. Many agencies offering writing jobs will test the abilities of unproven writers by sending them a sample brief which must be completed within a time limit to ensure they can meet deadlines.
