What is the scope of Hindi Copywriter? Can s/he survive in todays ad-world or any other field?

Hi commenter, I have completed my PG in Advertising and Communication Marketing. Now, I am looking for my job as a Hindi Copywriter. One and half month has gone and as such I have not got any call from agencies. I am totally depressed. Can anyone tell me should I opt for Hindi copy or move to other field. Because I have option of Client Servicing, Media Marketing and Media Planning.

Thank you Karan,
Actually I am in Delhi and tried many agency but there is no any response. All are looking for English copywriter.
I also talked to many senior copywriters who told me that there is no as such scope as a Hindi copywriter.
They said- "If you want to make a Radio spot or TVC script a English copywriter can do the same. If it is not a specific print ad."
Now,I am at this adverse situation don't know what to do?

Just think of the simple saying that everything happens for a reason. I am an American Graphic Designer and I see myself as quiet humble, but I thought that I received my Bachelor's Degree with a portfolio that displays what I am capable of for the most part. However, it took me 5-1/2 months out of school to finally land a job and this was at the end of 2006--depending on who you ask, the global economy began to show signs of slowing down in December 2007.

While I would have preferred one or two other jobs I had interviewed for prior to being employed and I wish that I had negotiated better and asked more questions during the hiring process, but I feel that the job I landed is a much better place than probably 75% of the places I went in for an interview and I would have never thought that.

I do not know your personal life, but I say go for what makes you happy. If you are in need of money then it may be best to try and apply what you learned in school to any job. Maybe you can use your copywriting skills for something such as Media Marketing and then a few months or year later you can apply for an Advertising Agency and they may accept you seeing that you applied your school knowledge to the real world.

Have you done a internship for your school and if so, where if I might ask? Also, it happened weeks ago, but did you look into attending Portfolio Night to at least make some contacts? All else I can say is when you are not looking for jobs or at interviews, do Spec work, keep writing, and stay creative. You (or we as people) succeed in where our desires are.

:) OK, enough sayings from me and maybe I am too optimistic. May other Hindi Copywriters, Art Directors, and Creative Directors be able to give you further information in order to answer all of your questions and steer you in the right direction. Don't give up; best of luck to you.

EDIT: WOW! I just noticed the date of most the posts were January. Thank you for bumping an old thread and causing confusion. How has your job search up until this point been, CreatEve?

Hiii….I am a creative writer (Hindi). I have got many awards in poetry writing and slogan writing. Now I feel that I should try writing as a career. Can anybody help me out for this.

Don't have to worry, dear. I am an English copywriter whose boss (and Creative Director) is a Hindi Copywriter. The should console you. Moreover, don't forget Hindi is the national language of our country. Keep on trying. And everything will turn out fine. Cheers. Vishal.
