The job market is so rough right now. I work for Universal Health Systems and we are always hiring. I would look on their website to see if they are hiring near you.

It's not a great job market plus you may be facing some age discrimination. All you can do is stay persistent. Try to talk to any professional contacts you may have and inquire about any openings. A personal referral is usually the best bet to find a new position.

They say they’re not supposed to discriminate, but I actually tend to think that’s not the truth because I feel the same way

I’m so sorry. Ageism in healthcare is a real problem that a lot of people don’t understand. Doctors can work until their 70s but nurses and other professionals get discriminated against once they hit 50 or 60.

Hi! I have been working in marketing and advertising for ~5 years and recently started exploring the freelance side of things. I started conversations with a small boutique studio about doing Facebook ads for them and they asked what my retainer fee would be to manage them. Since I’ve always worked for a company that was hired to do it I am not entirely sure what a freelance rate for that should be? I would love any insight. I’m certified through meta’s platform too if that matters.

My girlfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 8 months now. We talk every single day online and recently I went to visit her for around a month. It was great and it seemed like the relationship was stronger than ever. But one week back after visiting her, I felt a strange detachment from her and our conversation topic got repetitive and stale quick. Any advice?

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??
