Should you include that you’ve helped win several new business pitches on your resume? If so, at what level and how should you go about it (should you include budget/industry etc.)?

Helped? That’s really hard to substantiate. If you could supplement it with “was the leading team” or “led a team of designers” or something.

I’ve honestly never seen someone boast about winning a pitch unless you’ve also produced some notable work afterward.

I think the last line is true. It should be paired with output. I brought this in, then made this.

YES. And yes to the budget/industry, relevant info. Give agencies a reason to hire you and pay you what you’re asking for (& talk about how your contributions made a difference)

It's ok to brag about winning a pitch. Bragging makes this industry go 'round.

Yes! Do a “led multi-million dollar winning pitch for x agency” or even “effectively contributed to winning…”

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?

Hello, I’m an LMSW in Michigan. I have 15 years of experience in the field as a clinician, supervisor, and an administrator. I am feeling burnt out and unsure of my future. I have worked mainly in the Community Mental Health and the VA Health systems, hence my fatigue. I’ve flirted with private practice work in the past, but my spouse has been worried about not having affordable healthcare and benefits that each system provides. Is it worth the jump? Am I overthinking things?
