I applied to 4 jobs yesterday. I need to apply to 2 more today and make at least some progress on an additional 2 applications (one job is one that I've applied to before, but it's half a year later and this time I'm actually editing together a reel for them to make it look like I'm more serious about sound design and not just a composer settling for the next best thing) (though technically that is exactly what I am) and I've got another 7 or so lined up for the next week.

Basically applying to anything even vaguely music or audio industry related, which makes this all a huge pain, because the jobs are all just different enough that I can't recycle the same CV or swap out names on the cover letter -- I actually gotta re-do shit from scratch.

I've been having a really rough week tbh. Huge fight with my sister. Not enough hours at current job (hence the job hunt) and stressed about money.

Today I get to read an audiobook for the blind library, which I love doing, so hopefully, that will cheer me up and if not there is ice cream in the freezer and bourbon on the shelf and Ocean's 8 is included with my sister's HBO subscription.

That's a lot of applications - best of luck to you in finding something that suits your needs! I'm impressed with your tenacity, especially all the resume re-writes.

Hope your week improves, and that your conflict resolves. Fights with family can be really rough ;-;

Cheers to reading audiobooks, and ice cream and bourbon!

Submitted 4 more since this post! Found a couple more audio engineering ones where all I really had to do for the cover letter was swap out the name of the organization. Here's hoping I get some responses next week!
