My mom recently interviewed and ended up hiring someone because of this part of her cover letter:

Just a little information about me:
· I love the chase
· I am as organized as a library
· If the ball is falling, I catch it
· I love challenges
· I am resourceful like MacGyver!
· I am fun
· I believe that criticism given to me is intended to make me stronger my name is (redacted) for goodness sake!

Self-care tip: Make it a point to discover (then share with your people) your LIFESAVERS.

Lifesaver: preferred item which has unique powers of improving your mood.

“My lifesaver is Milo’s Sweet Tea. When I am in “the trenches”, or the world is on fire, or the ship is sinking with me on it, give me a Milo’s Sweet Tea. I will then be able to survive!”

Common lifesavers:
• snacks (snickers)
• drinks (Sweet Tea)
• songs/bands (Kokomo)
• pop culture references (Ron Swanson quotes)

What are yours?

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade). And I’m certain she’d make a fabulous junior AD or content strategist. Unfortunately she, like many in this pandemic, is still without a job. Any advice for her and/or shops/hiring managers/non-traditional job hunt tips to steer her towards?

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

I do create some personal campaigns and do social media content on LinkedIn for my personal profile. That is why I get a high number of interviews but I stumble at the starting line.
