Both of us are currently dealing with the woes of job hunting during a recession. Joey has been unsuccessful in securing a job offer after completing her MBA back in December and I am currently finishing up my portfolio to become an Art Director.
Cecilia Gorman is the VP, Director of Creative Services at Y&R Advertising in Irvine, CA. For some time now we've been following her blog. She is extremely blunt and honest, which you've gotta love. Whether you're currently employed or not, you are bound to find some advice to take away with you.
A few days ago, I hit an emotional wall because in two weeks I will be joining the hundreds of thousands of Americans that are currently unemployed. Joey is already among this group. Two years ago no one could have seen things getting this bad. But they did. So what now?
We think it's more important than ever to believe in your ability to produce great work because someone is bound to notice it.
We'll be posting tips and updating you on our personal experiences during the job hunt. This should be interesting as I am looking for a creative gig and Joey is looking for a more technical spot.
So keep at it. We know we will.
Jess

Job hunting is tough, but has similarities to the wine process... The more and the longer you do it... the better you get at it.
ReplyDeletethis is true. Don't give up! I have gone from black to white in job areas and don't forget... if you have an MBA you can be a substitute teacher or do some tutoring work for school districts...easy fast money.
