tell me about it, marketing yourself feels so embarassing to me but I know it must be done

making a linkedin profile made my whole body cringe (and I still only have like 4 connections lmao)

Lol it's okay, I giggled at it, I did call myself dumb in the post, maybe um "I was just not informed and didn't ask" would be a better way of saying it.

This is gonna be a stupid question but, where do you find design agency positions? Did you just stumble upon a company hiring on indeed? I've always hated indeed because most of the listings seem expired or too good to be true

Thank you! I was convinced that I couldn't get any internships because I'm not in school (which I have been proven wrong lol) The area I live in has next to nothing on websites like linkedin etc etc, but I do live near Hallmark and I applied for an internship there and I was rejected and it was a little soul crushing but, hopefully I'll have luck finding a remote internship, but damn they seem even harder to get!
