I need advice for the next 20 years. Copywriting has been my profession and my passion. I have never thrived in a cubicle, full-time environment, so when my position was eliminated at a large corporation 25 years ago, I leaped on the freelance bandwagon. I'll admit that it's…

Hi everyone, I hope that this encourages somebody who's been laid off, or who's in the job market. I was laid off from a job after 6 years in early 2022. It wasn't a complete surprise given that the company had been acquired by a competitor who had their own team. Received a…
