Heard about 60 people let go from Wunderman Thompson NYC last week? Hope you are all OK.

If they were met go, they're probably not ok.

I know it may seem like semantics, but there's a right way and a wrong way to talk to people after they get let go.

They aren't ok. they're pissed, sad, surprised, scared, etc.

They're not ok right now. But they will be again.

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?
