This question has been plaguing me lately too. My experience is that full time jobs don’t want you to actually do anything, just make your bosses feel good about themselves and attend a lot of meetings, and if you try to advocate for doing more or better work, your boss will hate you and maybe fire you. Freelance jobs expect you to be perfect at doing everything and even then they’ll still fire you.
When interviewing for full time jobs, you have to talk about your freelance projects to show that you know what you’re doing, but they won’t hire you because you’re not currently working full time and might not be cut out for it. And if you try to speak to your full time experience to show that you are cut out for a full time job, you don’t have “successes” to point to because you were actively discouraged from doing any good work or tracking the success of your work, so you can’t prove that you’ve produced results in a full time job.
To me, you are beautiful, brilliant, smart, funny, charming, kind, amazing and perfect! Jobs may come and go but gratitude and humility hopefully lasts forever because of all those lost jobs!!
fuckin fuck. same, same, same.
