Worked in Marketing and Creative for pretty much 20 years. Changed careers last year and went into education. That lasted a year. Now I can’t find a job in either field and it’s been almost 2 months. Never been this long without working. Anyone else been in a similar situation?

Education is nothing like it used to be. Neither is advertising. Could you work out a “fractional” offering, perhaps a part time marketing director for small businesses? Or do you want to stay in education

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?

Has any creative here ever tried to make the leap to leave advertising and be a film maker, photographer, illustrator, etc.?? I’m so tired of ad agencies and how draining the “creative” can be. Happiness is more important than a nice paycheck for me. Any inspiration success stories advice would be so helpful right now...
