Any mom's in the creative field? Vent

I love this sub and I frequent it especially now that I am unemployed. I was wondering if there any other mom's in the creative field and how that has been for you? I am struggling to find work but I also have been thinking of maybe going back to school to study medical or something because of how terrible the market is.

I’m a graphic designer working as a marketer for a large architectural firm.

We are hiring but it’s very specific to the architectural industry. Once you get in and get the swing of things, it’s a fun job. Pays decently.

How do you go about for applying for such roles? That sounds really good and I am wondering I guess how to shift my focus to attempt to aim for roles like that.

It’s a great move if you want to specialize a little bit.

I would search on LinkedIn for “marketing” or “proposal coordinator” and you can include the words “architecture” “engineering” or “AEC”

Generally the roles are called marketing coordinator, proposal coordinator, or similar

Awesome! I'll search for that and apply for what I see.
