Would anyone here be willing to take a look at my portfolio? I’m in this weird zone between copywriting, content writing, brand strategizing and journalism and can’t figure out exactly how to position myself for job that pays the bills since all my work is mostly editorial and magazines are dead, RIP. What jobs should I be looking for with the skills that I have? Any guidance would be amazing!!

I would recommend to look into reaching out in areas that are needing your skill set or to take a training of another skill that could pair well with what you know and then be able to build a list of clients that need what you can offer.

I work 2 part-time jobs. I just requested a pay raise at my ABA job which they approved on by 10%. My other job is in Mental Health has a flat rate with no chance to request a raise, turns out I'm not required to work the full 20hrs/Week meaning that when there's no work to complete I won't be getting paid. I've only been here 8months & want to leave as I need the money. Should I start looking elsewhere even if I haven't been here for a year?
