I feel like getting your first decent pay raise at an agency without having to leave or give up all your personal time is the hardest part!

I hear ya. It’s more a sense of relief with each project I produce. I only have 1 idea where I was actually stoked with the end result and it was a stunt.

For every 30 I’ve put in my book, it’s more of a “nice to have” - not something that really feel shows what I’m aiming for. Trying to get into a better place to change that.

30 second commercial yes, sorry for the confusion

It’s not, but it is an amazing feeling. Keep writing, keep learning. Make the process the fun part. You got it.

If you think a :30 is the benchmark, you are going to get pushed out of this industry. TV will not keep you employed unless you work on pharma.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Does anyone else feel like people who are generally nice in person and on calls sound mean or stand-offish in emails and text/chat? I get that over-use of friendliness in text can come off as green/immature, but I tend to try and cushion my words with positivity or even exclamation marks/the occasional emoji to show that I don't sound completely unemotional.

Or maybe i'm just an overthinking copywriter who's reading into it too much.
