Everyone is shocked at my sudden change of circumstances. They’ve all been most helpful, sending me loads of contacts and the names of the best recruitment websites and agencies.
Today I registered online with several agencies. Judging by their websites they all have creative jobs in abundance and are crying out for freelancers.
I emailed all my friends in advertising, joined Creative Pool and signed up for job alerts. I applied for about 10 jobs on Brand Republic and did a search for local marketing companies. There’s quite a few in the home counties, although I’ll probably have to go back into London. Need to get my head around that one. Might have to have hypnotherapy to deal with the train.
A friend came round from ex-work and I burst in to tears again at the unfairness of it all. By the end of the night I looked like Bea Smith from
Cell Block H.
