Activation Lab – Junior Copywriter

We need a copywriter. If you're wondering why this JD is so uninspiring, or maybe you've spoted a couple of typos here and thetre. Well, like we said, we need a copywriter. The person who wrote this did it in a rush because he's kinda busy now, and will probably be for a while, that is until we can find another writer. The good thing is, we don't need someone with experience. But we do need someone with a creative spirit (eg. you saw the new Nike ad and thought of the many different but BETTER ways they could have written their line) and is a protector of the English language (read anal). You probably spend your time writing puns in the comments section of other people's posts, and then pride yourself on being smart (you're not, almost everyone does that). You tell people your favourite books are by Chaucer and Hardy, but those were the last books you read, and you were back in JC then. The only thing you're really reading right now is your palm, wondering if Mercury is really in retrograde and why is Avril Lavigne still singing skaterboi songs when she's already some heartland auntie who frequents NTUC. You probably spend a bit of time playing online games, but no one wants you on their team because you keep correcting everyone's English, plus you literally type "I am currently AWAY FROM my KEYBOARD and my desk, but I will BE RIGHT BACK" all the time because it's proper and you're not a heathen.

Ok, enough about me. We need you, pronto. You don't need to be from some fancy-schmancy school like Hairvard, or NT Yew (but if you're really from any of these schools, get a lawyer because your degree is probably fake), because this is an entry-level role. You may hold a PHD, but in here, you are still the Junior Copywriter. So if you're someone who wants to catch a break because you flunked your 'A' levels (but scored like an A1*** in GP and Lit) and your family thinks furthering your studies is a waste of time and want you to go get a job, or if you're fresh from poly with a Mass Comm diploma but with a GPA of like 2, however you scored like A1s and distinctions in English and other related subjects and you need a job. Do apply here because we like misfits (who are good in English). If you were one of those fresh grads who were interviewed about your monthly salary expectations and said your expected salary is more than 5K a month, I would suggest you skip this ad.

Unfortunately for our many friends who reside outside of Singapore, we are strictly on the look-out for candidates who are Citizens or PRs of Singapore. If you are neither but you still apply after reading this, I'm afraid you already failed the most important criteria - being good in English.
