Humility is your best asset sometimes. A little doubt is a strong motivator to keep doing better.

The imposter syndrome. Hard to battle.

that’s ok, copywriterOP, not everyone is.

A) you could still make a career out of it, trust me.
B) maybe you’re really good at something else and just need to figure out what it is!

Oh boy. It’s called the ‘shit sandwich’. Soften the blow by starting with a compliment, kill the baby next, sugar coat the situation with another compliment. It happens all the time, across every department 😂🧡

I have imposter syndrome on the daily. My two mantras are: comparison is the thief of joy and take the small wins. Also realizing that I love just to purely write. Our jobs is just one form of it that we get paid for!

Nothing wrong with doubting yourself and having humility. Way too many people think what they should do is just ACT like theyre awesome at it. More people will want to help you.

If thats even what you want... if you really feel like youve given it your best shot, its okay to say its not for you. Just dont be a quitter, and have a decent plan for what comes next.

Hi all. My 6mo rvw is approaching in <2mo. I am aware I will receive a performance-based raise, but not sure how much. My student loan payments kick back in shortly after and I could use some advice on how to ensure that raise accommodates as much of my new debt as possible. I have over 6 years of various office and FOH experience, but no degree. I often receive praise from coworkers and intend on revising my SOP to record every one of my tasks in my current position to cover my basis. Thoughts?

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.

I feel like my track record of saying "yes" to everything is coming back to bite me. I'm glad pp recognize me as a team player & know they can lean on me, but I'm now swamped with side projects w/ quick TATs, ON TOP of my reg work for clients. How do u say "I physically can't do all of this" without disappointing some1? Something's gotta give, at this point, as I'm burning weekend hrs to keep up. But I fear losing my rep as a hard worker.
