I don’t like talking to people enough to endure being a bartender.

It’s the shift from late stage capitalism to failed state. No matter which party wins.

Proposal design, powerpoint design, commercial printing design. Other companies need designers too, not just agencies.

Out of the most recent 40 jobs I have applied for on LinkedIn, only 3 of my applications have been opened. Have a look under your ‘Jobs’ and then ‘Applied’.

Circling back on this - are telling me that all the jobs listed that say ‘Applied 11mo ago’ haven’t even been opened? I literally only see one out of about 50 that says ‘Application viewed 6mo ago’ - if this is the case this is really depressing

What a Mess. Our natural hábitat sre ad agencies, once You are out, you are whatever the clientes want You to be. I had to learn how to shoot, edit and now i'm competting against technical opeators, it sucks. So i'm migrating to marketing with all certificatuons I can get, but they do want a barista.

I skipped a barista and jumped to School Bus Driver, Now I yell at kids the way I wanted to yell at bad direction, both internal direction and client direction :-)

For those working in house, how much “from scratch” document drafting are you doing vs. reviewing and revising “outside documents”. For example, if your company wants to enter into a joint venture company with another entity, are you drafting the company agreement “from scratch” or is it based on internal forms? Or are you getting outside counsel to do it?
