Anyone else finding New York - and beyond - impossible at the moment? Or am I just poorly connected? Can’t seem to get anything.

The last recession helped my freelance biz tremendously. Agencies cut staff payrolls and hired out. 2010 was a banner year.

I'm not even sure I could in good faith recommend anyone to go into a portfolio school now. Like I wouldn't anyway because the industry crushes you, but lately it seems like the job market will crush you even before you can get a job

Last day to look. Get it.

Hang in there, this is a weird time of year. Too much support from people in the same boat. I wouldn’t take solace in some of these people, out of work for almost a whole year - how do they survive? And why would they think advertising is a good field for them? It’s uber competitive out there and that’s why the cream (or people who have creamier, better connected friends) rises.
