Be more specific.

I've gone from freelancing fulltime for years to taking a 9-5 in the past couple months. now that I'm not actively looking for projects, the more fun ones seem to be finding me. I can be more choosy than I used to be. my advice: only work nights and weekends freelancing if you love the project.

One day she left the grill on. Etc. There was another manager there training to run another store and she said I basically do a lot of the work while she doesn't do much. So she stood up for me.

So, an agency I’m interviewing for has asked me to write 1 email, 1 30 second radio script, 4 ig posts, and three print ads for a campaign as a sort of test to see if I’m a good fit. I have two days to deliver. Unpaid. Is this normal?

I'm an account manager, but want to get better at helping and managing my team. So, I've started doing some of the copywriting myself so I can get a better feel for what's involved, what's needed, and how I can help others improve.

I recently attended an SEO conference and then spent a weekend reading everything I can get my hands on. I've also got a reading list I'm building out.
