Reach out to recruiters and contacts. Made friends with any project managers? Get in touch. Met ECDs who like and respect you? Write them.

It’s a tough market for freelance. I also freelanced after time at top shops, including WK Portland. It was still tough. Especially NYC which already has more creative talent on the street than it can provide work for.

Live cheap. Save money. Be open to different types of work (like pharma). Your book is important, but it’s your network that will keep the bills paid.

I went to my GE science teachers and asked for a comprehensive list of what is taught in biology in our GE classes. My goal is to take the main ideas and bring the concepts down to the level of my students to keep them moving at a similar rate. I was told they do not feel they can share that with me because we do not have our class assignments for next year yet.

SSSOOOO...can anyone help me come up with a Biology Concept list?

They gave me the salary for MSW level however, they said they could not tell me what the salary bump for LCSW would be until i have my license number. Is this standard practice for a LCSW position in a clinic?
