Shortlisted candidates will be invited to complete the assignment outlined below.. Assignment: Website Strategy & Copywriting As part of our hiring process, shortlisted candidates will complete a paid assignment designed to reflect the type of work you'd be doing at MYM. We'll provide a fictional therapist's completed questionnaire and discovery-call notes. You'll use these materials to develop a clear website messaging direction and a sample of website copy. Your assignment will include: 1. Messaging Strategy: Identify the therapist's ideal audience, key differentiators, and recommended messaging direction. Briefly explain your reasoning. 2. Website Structure & SEO: Recommend a sitemap of approximately 5–7 pages, including a primary keyword or search intent for each page. Explain any pages you would combine or exclude. 3. Homepage Copy: Develop a homepage hero section and two additional homepage sections, including headings, body copy, and appropriate calls to action. Structure the content so it could be handed directly to a designer. 4. Strategic Judgment: Identify up to three gaps, concerns, or opportunities in the information provided. Explain what you would recommend or clarify before proceeding. 5. AI Workflow: Briefly describe the AI tools you used, how you approached prompting, and what you changed or improved through your own editorial judgment. You are encouraged to use AI throughout the assignment, just as you would in this role. We're interested in the quality of your thinking, the effectiveness of your final copy, and how you use technology to work efficiently. We'll provide a clear scope and time expectation. We're not looking for a fully written website, but rather an opportunity to understand how you approach strategy, writing, SEO, and problem-solving.
