So I’ve worked the last year for an in-house creative department. Last month the contract was about to expire and I was told that they were renewing me for another year. Then earlier this week, my agency contact told me they had moved my end date up to mid October, but that I shouldn’t be worried about my job. And that most companies are extending month to month. Guess I’ll be putting out feelers now. Sigh.

A wonderful friend recommended me to a recruiter, when the recruiter was looking to place a creative.
This role is at a small agency, I’m going to be paired with a Sr. Copywriter. They’re looking for a conceptual thinker and brilliant designer, no pressure.
I have some internships and some freelance under my belt since graduating portfolio school, and a current laptop that’s running on fumes ha.
I’m intimidated, cautious, yet super grateful to finally hear from someone.
Any words of wisdom?
