There are less than fifty days left of the year – how are you feeling about it? If you told yourself this would be the year for change, the year to make big moves, the year to find a job that makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning, there’s no better time than now.
I’m happily living the freelance life over here, but there are a ton of full-time jobs I get sent or stumble upon that leave me thinking, “damn, that’d be a cool job.” For me, these marketing and creative roles usually have to do with all the things I love: food, sports, travel, food, outdoor lifestyle, music, and people doing cool shit to change the world (my favorite kind of people). While I drool over them wishing they were freelance gigs, they’re full-time in-house and that’s not my jam.
But here’s the thing – I don’t want these awesome opportunities to go to waste. So a couple of months ago, I started a blog series highlighting some of the coolest jobs I come across in the hopes they find their way to the right hands. Go get em, party people.
