Found the following classified for a copywriter at Random House. Note the job requirements:

Candidates should have 2-3 years experience in copywriting and have some writing samples to submit. Excellent writing skills, proofreading, strong verbal and communication skills are required. Ability to set and meet deadlines, brainstorming and multi-task is essential. Knowlege of the publishing industry and insight into market needs and consumer demands is a must.
I just have to say that if I had excellent writing skills, insight in market needs, and two to three years of copywriting experience only to get another job writing lame-ass copy, I swear I'd shoot myself.

Don't worry, I'd shoot my unappreciative boss first. :)
