I recently applied to the Content Designer, 2023 Graduate remote role at Atlassian and I'd appreciate it if I could get a referral.
Here are some details to aid in your decision-making:
- Last summer, I worked at Google as a UX Content Design Intern.
- I am currently in a grad program at
NYU and will graduate in Spring 2023.
- Before graduate school, I spent 3+ years as a Copywriter in Advertising.
I'd really appreciate any recommendation I can get at this time.

I'm over the chaos if I'm being honest. I think the realest thing I've learned is that if I don't break out of my shell and talk to people and make connections, I'm going to struggle to land a job. I've seen more new grads land jobs by the connections they've made than their degrees, which is bad news for me and my introvert self.
I feel this so hard. 😩 It’s wild how much of it really does come down to who you know, not just what’s on paper. As a fellow introvert, “networking” always sounded terrifying—but I’m slowly learning it doesn’t have to mean awkward mixers and forced convos. Even small connections can open big doors. You’re definitely not alone in that struggle.

That people can not like you and you can not like them, and you have to just get on with it and be as good as possible

That’s such a harsh truth, but so real. 😅 Nobody really prepares you for the fact that sometimes you just have to work with people you don’t vibe with—and still show up like a pro. Emotional maturity hits different once you’re in the thick of it!
