Any Army Reservists here know of cool/chill Reserve gigs (TPU or IMA) for a 25A/O3 type? Trying to get away from the staff/command BS. Thanks in advance!

I've been trying to crack the code on IMA jobs for years. The contacts listed for "available" positions are either horribly out of date or that entire population of POCs is not familiar with the concept of returning voicemails or emails.

Personally I think the people that manage to land a laid back IMA job hold onto it for dear life, and try to ride it out as long as they can, ideally until retirement.

Check out the 4-413 (SROTC) out of Knox. You can get assigned to your local ROTC program and assist with training cadets. Doesn’t count against the active manning/budget. Super laid back, did it while in law school.

Hi, I’m a creative who has yet to break into the industry and I have concerns.

As I continue to finish up my portfolio and hunt for creative jobs in advertising, I cannot help but get a bit discouraged. I see and hear so many horror stories about being black in advertising and a lot of times it just seems like the risks are much greater than any reward from working in this industry. Am I wrong in thinking so? I need a job and to make a living, but at what cost? How do I work through this?
