hereditary

2y

so i fit the description in OP. i was a comm major in college which is as close as you can get to undecided lol.

first job out college was just a kinda help out around the office job at a small company in my city. found it at a local job fair where i gave out my resume to a ton of companies. did customer service and inbound sales, but they also let me help out on social media and writing blogs for the website. i got fired cuz i stopped doing work when i got bored of being there.

next job i did part-time customer service again for a company that i knew someone at. it was a medical research company but i did the entry level job while i looked for something full-time.

i decided that i liked my writing portfolio from my first job enough that i started applying to a ton of jobs looking for copywriters and i got one at a s***ty agency with a high turnover rate that’d hire anyone that was young and needed experience. found on indeed.

all my favorite coworkers quit so i started looking for jobs like nine months later and put my writing portfolio together

i got a job at another agency through Creative Circle but got fired probably two months later because the boss was awful and i stopped trying pretty soon after realizing

day after i got canned i got a call from someone that saw my writing portfolio online and saw that i worked in medical research and asked if i’d interview for the senior position as a medical writer lmao. four interviews and an assignment later i got the job.

rn i make 85k which is more than enough for me to be happy especially at 24

i know this is a long ass read but tl;dr: do whatever you need to do to get experience. it can be a s***ty job, you can get fired or quit in under a year, but if you get experience, it’s a weapon u can use to get a better one. everyone told me that i can’t jump around jobs but i haven’t felt any consequences yet loob
