Finding Peace (and Even Joy) From a Third Layoff
Leveraging my most recent layoff to pursue what I actually find joy and fulfillment in
Social media is a “cool” industry to work in and everything, but after the first few months, it’s only still “cool” if you actually love it. I did not.
I saw a tweet the other day that was like a mirror. It shouldn’t have surprised me like it did because it makes perfect sense, but it showed me exactly what my issue had been at my previous two jobs. Both of those jobs were in social media.
“For Context”
I was laid off from my most recent job about two months ago. I was the in-house Editor, which was the umbrella role for all things social media and email marketing. I created, executed, and community managed the brand’s social presence across any platform they were active and deployed dozens of campaigns.
This role was my fifth year working in social media and my first introduction into the wonderful world of email marketing (a topic I knew less than nothing about).
I made a promise to myself that role would be the last job in social media I would ever hold.
