I’m a creative… looking for a job and I am stuggling right now to land one. I do 3D/2D illustration, graphic design/branding, ui/ux, motion graphics… 😭 but the layoffs are so nasty and even with referrals im not landing anything.

I feel hopeless.

I am looking for a gig too, wish that I had some solid advice on where you might find your next gig. Given your specialty, try looking for recruiting firms that specialize in your field, maybe you can get some traction with them

I just checked out their website. I’ll look into applying! Do you know anyone who works there that I can connect with?

You prob have enough experience to also set yourself up on these freelance job sites. Those graphic skills and the company could be a great marketing tool.

Which sites would you recommend?

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

We’re in such a vicious business. You give your heart & soul to an agency, a client, a brand. Then the wind changes & you’re laid off, reassigned, chewed up, spit out, on to the next. I’m tired.

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.

So since it's 10-15 day, since I joined. Can I leave this company, since I've got a better offer, with my suitable location.
PS: I have also received the laptop, but didn't login or do anything yet.
Please help me, can I still leave the company? And return the laptop to them. Or I have to continue here itself?
