I’ve applied to over 40 jobs since I was laid off in March. Not one click to my portfolio, per analytics. With a family of four, we are being spread thin. Not only is the income desperately needed, but my creative soul needs a release. I would be happy to do typical Art Director work but I’m “over qualified” for that and am never taken seriously when applying for work below CD/ACD. If anyone needs or know of any company needing freelance work, large or small—I’d really appreciate the lead. 🙏

360i NY is hiring CDs

like

Thank you

It’s tough, and I’m sure you’re doing everything you can to get back in the saddle. With tens of millions of people out of work—and ad agency demand cratering—it’s even harder to stand out.

Have you considered applying to staffing agencies for the short term? Perhaps Adecco, Atrium, and Creative Circle?

like

Yes, I have spoken with those staffing agencies but have had no luck. Similar issue, I’ve been a CD for the last 6+ years, and even though I’ve expressed interest to work on lower level as needed, crickets. No leads, yet.

Post your book. We’ll help.

Just messaged you.

Freelance or Full-time, to clarify. NYC based.

like

Yes, absolutely. Any chance you have any reccos on best way to do that? Is it simply searching other cities and sifting for “remote”?

OP would you consider healthcare?

like

Absolutely. My portfolio is about 50/50 typical 360 consumer work and pharma. Truly, leaning toward Pharma these days for obvious reasons.

Ok from what I can see on the referrals system the FCB Health network has spots open for ACD and CDs for Art. Check it out

Absolutely fine
