Hi I just got laid off from my job at NowThis. I’m locked out of my email and my computer so I didn’t even know until a coworker texted me. I worked there for 6+ years as a senior writer and I worked very hard there. I’ll post a bunch of stuff I worked on but I need a job :-)

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Written for: Hiring managers and founders
