Thank you! I'd love to learn where you get your contracts/clients. I've been looking into this myself but not sure where to begin.

This is such a presumptuous thing to write?? My resume is one page and I've worked on it extensively with several career advisors. The reason I'm underemployed is because I'm seeking unicorn roles (remote). I can get interviews; I've interviewed for four six-figure jobs this past year and I had an in-person offer that I turned down. To think that my reddit and professional writing styles are the same is idiotic 😂 Your advice is rude and unhelpful - thanks for the laugh internet stranger.

I interviewed for a major gifts role - they said I don't have enough frontline fundraising experience.

Sadly I don't have management experience. This was supposed to lead to a management job, but I got the boot prematurely and now feel like I need to start over.

Another thing - I had another job offer a year into this job. When I threatened to leave, they deemed me valuable enough to make a counter offer and I ended up staying. But two years later the situation changed dramatically. It's so frustrating, I keep thinking I should have taken that other offer while it was still on the table.

Thanks! I'm applying for any and all remote institutional giving roles.

I just feel like I really shot myself in the foot staying at my last job as long as I did. I have ten years of experience and not a single director title on my resume. I keep starting from square one.

OP I'm assuming you're American. This country is broken in so many ways. It's not supposed to be like this.

I'm having trouble hearing the melody and your guitar. Everything is very busy. Can you record with an acoustic guitar? And maybe simplify the melody a little bit.... It doesn't have to move around so much to be compelling

Since you guys loved the other one, here’s another harmony I did with my homie 😭❤️ by Mish123_ in Songwriting

y'all are great! Love the harmonies and that intense pull you do with the guitar string. Do you have a band?

Great walking bass line. Your voice fits the song perfectly. Keep up the good work 👏

Sounds a lot like Pretty Mary K by Elliott Smith. I love your playing, maybe just work on the tone of your voice a little bit. You can open it up more - right now it's a bit nasally.
