I’ve tried to film this intro so many times, and I think it’s because saying it out loud makes it feel very real: after four years of doing social media, I’m officially starting my corporate job search at 26. This isn’t a “how to get a job” video—this is me stumbling and fumbling in real time, documenting the process no matter what happens (including the rejections and the ghosting I’m fully expecting). I also share why I’m doing this now: I feel mentally ready to invest in the corporate side of my career again, and I’m also being honest about how chaotic and unpredictable social media income can be when you’re trying to plan long-term. To keep myself sane, I built a Job Application Tracker in Notion (and turned it into a template you can duplicate). I walk you through how I set it up—pre-application checklist, a coffee chat tracker, and a simple job tracker with fields like resume/cover letter, links to postings, and response statuses. I also share what I’m currently looking for (marketing strategy, more analytical/research-based roles), plus an updated morning routine, a little coffee shop work session, and a cute reset moment that honestly helped me breathe. If you’re job hunting in 2025 too, I just want you to know you’re not alone—LinkedIn has been…a lot.
