Questioning whether you’re good or not is normal.

But motivation is the key factor in success. You need to find what motivates you and finish your book.

You just need to get your first job. Sounds like right now you have no work community, career mission or self esteem. Just get something somewhere. Work your ass off. Feel the satisfaction of work done well. And then you’ll have momentum going.

I feel sad and started to think maybe I am not prepared yet. I question if I'm good or noy

I also still question if I am good or it. It’s our lot in life as creatives

Imposter syndrome is sadly very real part of being a creative. You’ll have a version of this w you forever, but because you’ll learn how to emotionally manage it - it will become MUCH less of a problem MOST days of the year. 😂😭

Send your book along if you’d like help/opinions. I ain’t famous by a longshot, but I have worked at three major agencies.

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.

Need some feedback! So I was forced to move jobs about 6 months ago due to reorg and the new leader opting to bring their existing EA with them, without even meeting me. If stayed at the company but accepted an offer for a job outside of the department I was in. I’ve now been asked by a manager from my old department to apply for a job they’re opening that would be a 2 step promotion. She thought she got my managers permission to approach me (see comments)
