First off, know that you shouldn’t limit your search to the phrase content manager if you are looking for someone that works in this field. Experts may also label themselves as Managing Editors, Directors of Content Marketing, Editorial Directors, Content Marketing Managers, Web Content Managers, etc. These are all different titles that encapsulate the same skill set.
Naturally, most employers that look for full-time staff will begin their search by skimming through LinkedIn results. LinkedIn is a platform with over 430 million users and is the go-to place to find professionals in any sector – content managers included. It has a ProFinder feature, an internal search engine that can help you locate top local freelancers. Most employers need to feel assured that the person they are contacting is a reliable and hard-working talent. That is why recommendations are a useful tool that leads to well-educated choices. Do not be afraid to reach out to previous employers through mutual associates.
A court case reveals the dance between reporter and source
“I am asking you again to trust me,” the reporter wrote his source. “I am very good at my job.”
And, he added: “Get ready for prime time. The reckoning is beginning…. You and everyone else will be protected.”
That reporter, BuzzFeed’s Jason Leopold, was right about a few things. He
is good at his job. A reckoning
was beginning. But he was wrong about this: His source—Natalie Mayflower Sours Edwards—would not be protected.
After leaking thousands of documents to Leopold from her post at the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), Edwards was arrested by the FBI in October 2018 and pleaded guilty last January. In the past few months, as part of the process to determine whether Edwards should go to prison, lawyers for the US Attorney and the defense have filed more than 100pages of documents, which include many excerpts of text conversations she conducted with Leopold.
