Write for Us Career: Career Blog Guest Post Guidelines

Career content online is mostly resume templates and interview question lists. What this blog wants is the inside view: how hiring decisions get made, how someone changed careers or got promoted, what a recruiter sees that candidates miss, told by people who do it.

My readers run small businesses, work in marketing and hire people. They want to build careers and teams that work, so a career post has to come from someone who has hired, been hired or coached people through it.

60-second career guest post check

A strong submission can answer yes to all five points:

• Have you hired, been hired or coached people through what you describe
• Do you have a real result, timeline or number
• Does your opening answer the reader's question straight away
• Have you removed any pitch for one company or service

Read the guidelines and submit your guest post.

What we publish

• Changing careers or getting promoted, with the steps and timeline
• Hiring for a small team, with what worked and what did not
• What recruiters and hiring managers look for, with real examples
• Building a freelance or portfolio career, with the numbers
• Growing a careers or jobs platform, with results

If your post could be published on any career site with the logo swapped, it is not for us.

What we don't accept

• Generic resume tips and interview question lists
• Promotion of one job board, course or recruiter
• Generic job search advice with no example
• Previously published posts republished from another site

What you get

• Your article in front of an engaged audience of business owners, marketers and founders
• One relevant, contextual link back to your own site
• A byline and the credibility of an established, high-traffic blog
• Editorial help to make the piece as strong as it can be before it goes live

How to submit

Send your pitch or draft through the contact form. Include the topic, the one specific problem the post solves, and a line on your first-hand experience with it. One idea per pitch works best. You will hear back on whether it is a fit before you write the full draft.

What a strong career pitch looks like

A weak pitch says "I want to write about ten tips to ace your next job interview." A strong one says "As a recruiter I tracked why two hundred shortlisted candidates were rejected at final interview, and most failed on the same question, so I want to show the pattern, the question and how the ones who got hired answered it." One is a brochure. The other is worth reading.

The angles that get accepted fastest

• Changing careers with a timeline
• Hiring for a small team
• What recruiters see that candidates miss
• Building a freelance career
• A contrarian view on cover letters

Frequently asked questions

Does Lilach Bullock accept career guest posts?

Yes. Career guest posts are welcome from writers who have done the work and can share what happened. We publish practical articles with real examples and decline generic resume tips and interview question lists with no lesson for the reader.

What career topics do you accept?

We accept career changes and promotions, hiring for small teams, recruiting and hiring decisions, freelance and portfolio careers, and growing careers or jobs platforms. The common thread is a specific lesson with a result attached, not a general overview.

Can I include a link back to my own site?

One contextual link back to your own site is fine when it is relevant and helps the reader. Posts written purely to build a backlink with no real value are not published.

Do you accept previously published content?

No. Every submission must be original and not published anywhere else first, including your own blog, Medium, LinkedIn, or a guest slot on another site under a different name. Republished or lightly reworded content gets declined, and we check before it goes live.

How do I submit a career guest post?

Send your pitch through the contact form with the topic, the specific result or lesson you will cover, and a line on your own experience doing the work you are writing about. One idea per pitch works best, and you will hear back before writing a full draft.

Do you accept sponsored or commercial partnerships?

Commercial and partnership enquiries are handled separately from editorial guest posts. If you are a brand or agency wanting to work together rather than pitch an article, say so in the contact form and you will get the right details back.

How long should a career guest post be?

There is no fixed word count, but posts that do well here usually run from 1,000 to 1,800 words. Long enough to show the example and the numbers, short enough that a busy owner finishes it. Cut anything that repeats what the reader already knows.

What makes a career pitch stand out?

A real result in the first sentence. Say what you did, what changed and over what period, then say what the reader will be able to copy. For example: As a recruiter I tracked why two hundred shortlisted candidates were rejected at final interview, and most failed on the same question, so I want to show the pattern, the question and how the ones who got hired answered it.
