Funemployment Club

no steady job, no coherent career, a smattering of freelance gigs, and an unending stream of guilt and shame, stalwartly buttressed by indignant, almost gleeful defiance.

I feel so shitty about this project. I hate it. I feel like a broken human over this. The worst part is that after all the stress, I’m not even getting paid that much from it. It’s another case of me overpromising and underdelivering. I feel like I’m a really bad product person.

dark moments in freelancing

I’m in a phase where I’m just not excited about things.

not sure if depressed, burned out, insufficiently motivated/skilled, or all of the above

My days are made or lost by how early I get started.

My instinct is still to put other people’s stuff before my stuff. It's still so much easier to help others than to help myself.

It’s hard to get started, and the initial organization piece is scary in and of itself — trying to decide how to organize the job search. I don’t want to let things fall through the cracks, and the thing I hate most about this process is the idea of doing work that’s for nothing. I can apply to 50 places in a month and have nothing to show for it at the end.

This is actually a legitimately awesome resource for people who are job hunting or considering career changes. Kudos to whomever created it.
