It's always been my dream to work in advertising as a copywriter. Jr Copywriter opportunities have come my way but none of them were what I was looking for. Last week, after months of studying award books, portfolio reviews with CDs, and building my book, I finally interviewed for the exact role I had been working so hard to get. Today, I can officially announce that I will continue looking for my dream job because I didn't get it. I'll have it one day, just not today.

That's the spirit! Keep going and eventually you'll land your dream role. You've just inspired me to keep trying as well 😢.

Keep going!

You can do it!

I loved how you wrote this if that's any consolation! That's the kind of attitude that will serve you well

So....how did it go?! Hope you landed the role!

I’ve been working to an unhealthy degree lately. And I’ve been making the excuse that I have a lot of work right now, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m addicted to it. Part of it is anxiety and perfectionism. But my behavior is now actively harmful to myself and starting to harm my marriage.
