Coursera has awesome classes on python if you want to go that route. But just know what you’re getting yourself into. If you don’t have at least a knack for technical things, python is going to get very hard very quickly...just my POV

Keep trying to do work, even if it’s not real. A proactive work for a specific client, a personal project, etc. Don’t stop being creative just because you don’t have a briefing.

Apply to healthcare agencies. Mine is currently any creative with any type of ad experience bc we’re so short on staff. Fully WFH. Seriously, healthcare/pharma shops are the place to be if you wanna take the leap.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
