In this episode of Ditch the Struggle we dive into:

• Why I decided to give up freelancing (temporarily) as a graphic designer in 2016
• The stressful and disheartening process of looking for a job 😬
• Going through the interview process for 3 jobs in one month
• Getting ghosted by one company AFTER an official written offer
• Choosing to be openminded about new job opportunities
• Why a government job was the best place for me - and how it was NOT about the work
