I’ll start by saying I didn’t work for half of July thru mid September and tried to enjoy some summer for a change. Got double booked for a month and now finishing out the 2nd gig. One was a project fee and the other my regular rate of $1k/day. I used ChatGBT to revamp my resume and LinkedIn profile based on some helpful tips on LinkedIn.

Still looking. It’s been nearly a year. Lots of interviews for FT and FL. There’s been a bit of an uptick with FL avail inquires, but no booking yet.
As for AI, I’m only using it for cover letters and thank you emails.
Went to an industry party last week. All the reps were saying what an awful year it has been. Hopefully, things will turn around soon. 🤞

Working. Below my normal hourly rate but get OT. Thankful for the work. I can’t think about what I was making in 2022. New times.

AI, only use it for cover letters and thank you emails for past interviews.

If offer is given, a) at what $ is this worth and b) is brand everything for first firm out of school?

Also would the life science boutiques reasonably pay more than that?

The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

Would it be bad form to say to the agency I am currently at that another agency wants to book me for three months and ask them to book me for two more months
