Agency I’m at just laid off a ton of FTEs. Is being a freelancer becoming stable because we don’t count as headcount, and they need us during the ensuing chaos?

Not necessarily, especially as the market gets more flooded with people looking for freelance work.

From what I have seen - as more clients go away from AOR agencies are having an increasingly difficult time staffing which has made the freelance market hot. This could be a blip or a new norm.

I’ve just read a projection that says 80% of the US workforce will be part of the gig economy by 2030. So there will be a lot of freelancing.

Sorry to hear, OP. Hope you weren’t one of them. NYC?

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship. I get 3-4 requests a week from mutual contacts asking if I can connect with a former colleague (always broad). Typically the ask is a 30-45 min call. I’ve been laid off, I know how hard a time it is, but equally am working long hours, parenting and want to reserve time for those I know. How do others manage these extra calls into their weeks?

I got laid off in January and have been trying to find a new job since. I keep making it to the phone interview and sometimes a second interview, but always get ghosted. It’s so disheartening.

I have too much experience for an internship, and I have too little to be the top choice for copywriter roles. I know I’m a good writer, I know what I’m capable of, but it’s so exhausting trying to convince people. They always like my book but it’s never enough to get the gig. What can I do?

I wish I would have had this bowl ten years ago 😔 I recently was diagnosed with ADHD.

Now I may get fired for “lack of attention to detail” and “missing deadlines.” I wish I had looked into this so much earlier. I’m two weeks into taking Wellbutrin but I think it takes awhile to kick in, my psychiatrist suggested starting with that…
