S.O.S. I’m sinking.

I’m an art/creative director with 20 years of experience based in NYC. With the exception of one freelance project, I haven’t been able to find work for a year and a half.

Obviously I’d prefer to stay in the business as a creative but I’m open to any leads at all.

Doesn’t have to be advertising or design. At this point I’m open almost any other legit job to make ends meet.

DM me if you’ve got any job leads at all. I could use a lifeline.

What’s your niche? Have you considered going in-house? Build your connections on LI w/o asking for a job. How can your experience help a company solve a problem? Show genuine interest in others. BTW -This was me in late 2017. To stay in the business I had to take a pay cut. Working but barely making it. With your skills, what industry could you transfer into? Best of luck. It’s really rough out there.
