Please tell us a bit about yourself.
Phillis Chang: Hi, my name is Phillis. I am a content strategist at Demodesk and I'm based in Munich.
Was there something you struggled with before taking the course?
So the course that I took was becoming a freelance writer. And my challenge before taking this course was that I didn't know what a freelance writer needs in order to do their job properly. And this was important for me to know. actually not because I was looking to become a freelance writer, but because as a content strategist, I was anticipating working with some freelance writers and I wanted to know how I could best support them. What kind of materials would they need from me? And these were all things that were covered in the course. I learned for instance, how to write a good brief. And in the course, it also covered how a freelance writer should interact and communicate with clients. So understanding it from their perspective was incredibly helpful for me. when I started working with some freelance writers. And so I learned a lot from this course.
What did you enjoy about the course?
One of the things I really enjoyed about the course was how interactive it was in terms of the content. So it wasn't just like reading through a textbook, but things would pop up as you progressed through the program through that particular chapter. And that helped me to stay focused on the content. So that was something I really appreciated.
