I’ve been unemployed so long that I now have anxiety about going back to work. *potentially*
I think I interviewed well for this web designer job, they asked for my references, my portfolio and writing samples.
Then came back and asked for some marketing copy samples. Like everything I gave you and you still need more?
Marketing copy takes me sooo long to write. Who knew 1-2 sentences were so hard?
Anyway, I was like “uh let me see if I have some examples I can show you” and never sent any. 😅 (I don’t want to send my ads I’m currently running cause they’re actually not converting at all. Hard to sell your CRO skills when it’s 0%.)
So two days pass and the CEO adds me on LinkedIn- I think so he could also check out my stuff that wasn’t listed on my resume.
And now, they want another interview on Monday.
My classes start on Tuesday (online this semester) and this job is WFH until they decide to get a new office building/COVID is over/etc, so it’s not like I’ll be running all over OKC trying to fit this into my life. Oh and I’m trying to build my Etsy business again.
Just going back to being an accountable, responsible adult seems sooo ugh. I don’t have the job yet, but it’s still making me all wiggle brained. I want the income. I want the challenge of designing websites for clients again. I want to finish my degree. I want to interact with people other than the lady at the Chinese restaurant. I’ve been designing websites since MySpace. I can do this. Imposter syndrome also plays a part in this as well.
I’m going to put on some pants, maybe brush my hair, and see where this goes.
*Update: I sent some marketing samples from my Etsy store from email campaigns, facebook, instagram, and pinterest. They thought they were so *fun*. They should see the crap I post on TikTok for my Esty. HAHA! So moral of the story is: Anxiety sucks and uh interview Monday with HR and the main partner of this agency! I should probably review the code base and CRM tools they use before then.
Still don't feel like brushing my hair.
