TL;DR? I'm rocking some serious post-election job-search anxiety/depression. It's a real treat.

🧵/end.

So I don't even know where to begin to look for jobs now. Because will it last? And I honestly didn't think I'd be 6 months in and still on this stupid search.

But here we are. Anxiety is high, I'm stressed the F out, and I felt like writing it down would release some of the panic. (It did).

🧵/5

Creative jobs will, again, be the first to go. Nonprofits and/or government organizations will struggle to survive (if they aren't eliminated completely). And I can't count on retail because tariffs will kill stores.

🧵/4

And I can't even get a response for admin type jobs. Frustrating.

But, I need y'all to understand what the job search is like now...

🧵/3

Because it's hard to get out of for a new experience without "experience" in another field. (Though I'd argue customer service is a useful skill in every job).

Retail. Film locations. Volunteering. Internships. Campaigns. Politics. <-- Done 'em all. Always learning...

(Also, I have a trans niece who I ADORE and is one of the coolest kids I know. Make one wayward comment about trans people and I'll block you immediately).
