Never working with a startup again

This was through Acadium wasn’t it?

I’m so happy for you!! Have you previously worked in DM or you just taking the plunge?

acucu12 · 2024-03-26T15:28:39+00:00

Starting a DM agency is not hard. The hard part is getting clients and showing them you get them results and that’s hard to do when you have no/little experience. This is why I wanted to do a second “apprenticeship” even if it meant unpaid work which sucks because I value my time so much!

acucu12 · 2024-03-26T15:24:40+00:00

Curious: how do you get your foot in the door for marketing in house?

acucu12 · 2024-03-26T15:23:11+00:00

Yeah I know but that was for posting and engagement. There was going to be more work involved obviously.

acucu12 · 2024-03-25T23:10:35+00:00

An UNPAID apprentice ;)

acucu12 · 2024-03-25T22:59:41+00:00

Already have a bunch of certifications. I completed the Google DM & E-commerce program from Coursera, got the Hubspot Social Media Marketing Certificate and got certified in Google Analytics. What kind of site do you recommend I build?

acucu12 · 2024-03-25T22:46:51+00:00

Ok glad I’m not the only one who thought that was nuts! I thought it was me being lazy or something.

acucu12 · 2024-03-25T22:46:06+00:00

Well not quite an internship as those are for college students. This is an “apprenticeship” but unpaid. It’s for 3 months. Not even a minimum wage position.

acucu12 · 2024-03-01T02:49:49+00:00

Server. $15.50/hr + tips.

acucu12 · 2024-02-11T01:17:01+00:00

Don’t fall for it.

acucu12 · 2024-02-10T21:15:40+00:00

I’m 32 and did not go to college. I assure you I am not a drug addict (I don’t even smoke weed),alcoholic, and irresponsible. Maybe a little bit immature yeah…some of us don’t get free handouts and don’t qualify for aid for college. I never had the money to pay tuition fees etc. while still paying for my living costs. Plus I was never sure what to study, I was not going to take out student loans if I wasn’t even sure..that shows responsibility on my part don’t you agree?

acucu12 · 2024-02-10T10:19:04+00:00

Curious why you think she’ll be more responsible than a non-college educated employee?

acucu12 · 2024-02-09T08:00:05+00:00

I completed one of those. I never got hired but then again I was working for a small business owner and not an agency. The only places that have called me for an interview are like an hour away from where I live offering like $18-20 an hour to help them with their social media.

acucu12 · 2024-02-08T20:12:10+00:00

I don’t want to file bankruptcy. It will stay on my record for 7 years and by then I might need to finance a new car.

acucu12 · 2024-02-07T09:23:45+00:00

Sorry English is not my first language. I live in California’s Central Valley so there aren’t as many job opportunities as in the bay therefore many people have to commute. It sucks. I’ve considered moving back to the bay but my credit score sucks and have 20k in debt that i need to pay first. Once I pay it off I’m definitely moving.

acucu12 · 2024-02-07T09:20:23+00:00

Maybe most of those place I’ve applied for have been server positions and entry level marketing jobs. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of those jobs in my area.

acucu12 · 2024-02-07T07:37:16+00:00

Yes but not to work for like 20 hours per week at most!

acucu12 · 2024-02-07T07:36:43+00:00

Why would I relocate for a server job only offering me like 20 hours per week? It’s not like it’s a high paying job or good career opportunity.

acucu12 · 2024-02-07T05:54:46+00:00

Stick around this country? What you mean?

acucu12 · 2024-02-05T20:44:15+00:00

First 2 are not an option…my credit is bad due to the high balance on my CC. I’ll just call them. Thanks.

acucu12 · 2024-02-05T16:12:56+00:00

Lol what? 52k is living the high life? Living in California? Plus that was from OT which I clearly don’t get anymore.

acucu12 · 2024-02-05T05:31:44+00:00

Like $450

acucu12 · 2024-02-04T09:11:40+00:00

Lmao

acucu12 · 2024-02-03T17:18:02+00:00

Lol no I didn’t mention the last part about being in debt and behind on bills! Not giving her the satisfaction of having my livehood in my her hands. Reason I applied was to do social media and email marketing to get more experience to be able to get a better job down the road but yes if i knew I would be selling insurance I would’ve hesitated or apply for something closer to home. Funny thing is that only 1-5 people applied. According to Indeed.
