Octofriends, this is a long shot, but I need some paying #work. I'm good at Marketing communications, editing and revision, copywriting, and all that other writerly stuff.
I'm genuinely pretty talented and I am sick of being walked on by the Vancouver job market.
Can anyone help? I have a website at http://Unwordly.ca
@wrdwoose It's so frustrating because it doesn't feel like you can escape this same hiring mentality anywhere.
@Mainebot it's not really help, but i noticed bc ferries is looking for a documentation coordinator...
@wrdwoose I'll definitely look into this though :)
@Mainebot it's strange for me to read this the same day i was galavanting in vancouver island and contemplating a dreamy and permanent escape from california to the north, and then be sucked back to reality by your confirmation that finding professional work is often a non-starter unless you know someone. i have great sympathy with your frustration, having worked with marcom folks and being in a former tech comms position myself.
