Apparently not creative enough to get on

Stay in contact w/ past creatives you worked with. Use LinkedIn in a non-grifter way. Like their posts if you support, congratulate them on new roles etc. if they are laid off at any point, offer to pass their resume around or bump their posts. This is really the most I do without blending work life and personal life
