Rachel Smith is a freelance journalist, copywriter and content writer – and the founder of Rachel’s List, a hugely successful jobs board and creative community. In this interview, Rachel shares what it takes to be a successful freelancer and how to organise your business to stay on track, get paid on time, get the fun gigs and build a successful career.
Rachel has written for a range of magazines and newspapers including CHOICE, the SMH, Good Health, Women’s Fitness, Vacations and Travel, Inside Out and many more. As a copywriter, she’s worked on projects for Uncle Tobys, Deck of Secrets, ACON, Destination NSW, Mastercard and NAB.

She stays agile, positive and adaptable to change, essential traits for anyone in the creative field and especially for those who freelance!
We met a number of years ago when I was a recruiter, seeking talented copywriters. We kept in touch through mutual respect of each other’s niche, and now it’s time for her to share her career story!
Rachel’s life is essentially all about staying sane while juggling her deadlines, Rachel’s List and about 587 questions per day from her 5-year-old. Copious amounts of tea (and wine) help.

HOW TO GAIN CAREER CLARITY How would you like to get clear on what you really want in your career, and stop going around in circles, feeling frustrated and stuck?
Why so some people just clock in and clock out at work, always thinking ‘Thank God it’s Friday’ at the end of each working week, while others seem to thrive on coming in to work, feel confident and happy in their roles and are productive, motivated and driven every single day?

In this episode of YOUR CAREER Podcast, Jane Jackson, career management coach and author of Navigating Career Crossroads answers all these questions and more.
Find out what you need to do to conduct a Life Inventory, identify what you are Tolerating and then discover the Values that drive you, what actually Motivates or De-Motivates you and the skills you’ve got that are transferrable because you’re highly competent in them PLUS you LOVE using? If you know that, then you’ll find your sweet spot when it comes to your career.
Let’s get happy in your job – or find out how to create your Dream Role and download Jane’s CAREER CLARITY PACK and start to create the role that will make your heart sing.
