    After 14 months of unemployemnt and about 10 months of hard job searching (during a pandemic) -- I finally found FT work as an Art Director. Its been a damn long road filled with lots of self doubt but the grind paid off.

    If you are in a similar spot looking for FT work, keep at it and push through. Things may seem super bleak but the goal at the end of the road is worth the struggle.

    Keep grinding, y'all!
