So I just wanted to thank this group. I’ve been doing freelance digital marketing for years now, my partner and I living paycheck to paycheck.
Well, after some advice here, I applied for several jobs in marketing in my area, got interviews IMMEDIATELY, and now I’m awaiting offers for at least two of the positions.
For context, I’m in the US, and we’ve been making $30k a year and scraping by. I’m not going to take an offer for any less than $60,000 a year, which at least one or two of the positions seems totally willing to offer. (I asked for 65 and they didn’t seem swayed at all).
When I started applying for this kind of thing, I didn’t expect to even receive a phone call, but these interviews have shown me that I really know my stuff and that I’m good at what I do. One job even wants me to onboard one of the freelancers I work with as well!
Thanks to this group, my life will actually change. (Oh and I’m not stopping my job hunt. If someone else wants to offer me $100k in a few months, who am I to complain?)
