Nerdy Work Issue #8: Hold On Tight, We’re (Kinda) Almost There

There are still jobs to be had!

Hello again!

I hope you’re all hanging in there as we truly enter what will be a cold, dark, deadly winter. I’m keeping myself distracted by doing further planning for a third stab at the honeymoon in Japan and Thailand that my wife and I were supposed to go on this year. And by planning I mean looking at photos and videos and hoping that we’ll be able to go late this coming spring (not looking all that great?).

Pulled directly from my dreams

I skipped last week’s edition of the newsletter because I didn’t see a critical mass of new job listings, but let know in the comments if you’d rather I send a weekly newsletter even if a given week may not have as many opportunities listed.

In addition to that yes/no survey, here’s our question of the week for the comments section: Of all the creative things you’ve made/written/designed/executed, what’s your favorite? If you can, share it!

Oh, also: Could you share this newsletter with a few people? You can tweet it, forward it over email, whatever you want. The more readers and awareness, the more tips we’ll get on jobs and gigs. I want to get you exclusive opportunities! Please also hit the heart up top to help us rank higher on Substack. Thank you!
