Commenting to share my best advice - the jobs you're looking for are hidden in the paid Circle communities (or membership Slack channels) where folks share postings for jobs that would never make it on those big platforms, let alone be found through search. They're typically hiring out of absolute need. The poster is usually someone who already works within the company. Don't go wide; look for the pockets.

very true. i'd say this is a benefit of the link in bio discord.

Hi everyone! I'm on the Creative team at Runway (https://runway.com/) and we're currently hiring for a couple full time social roles. (Among other marketing roles if you're interested in browsing: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/runway-ml?utm_source=0ndmzKbLZ1)

Social Media Specialist, Influencer Marketing

- $100K-$150K

- This is mostly a YouTube related role with room to grow and experiment.

Hi, I am Ivanna, and I love to show a story behind the story. That's thanks to my journalism background. Based in NYC, worked with the U.S. and European markets, and looking for social media, content creator, or strategist roles.

The work I am most proud of is infotainment behind-the-scenes series from places like the White House, film sets, or celebrity wardrobes. That's what I'm best at, taking audiences somewhere they'd never otherwise see.

I have also interviewed high-profile people, from celebrities to business people and Olympic champions.

▫️Experience: 8 years creating content end-to-end + managing social platforms up to 400K followers

▫️Platforms: Broadcast, streaming, podcasts, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn

Hi, I'm Sinikiwe, a NYC based Creative Director and Strategist. Until April I was on a contract at Meta where I served as the Creative Strategist for Instagram for Business. There, I realigned their strategy to speak to a new audience. I executed through copy and content. My highlight from my time there is growing the account to 810,000 net-new followers and developing Good Ad-vice ( https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZulsoaS7pm). For which I created the concept, led creative direction, and wrote the copy.

Currently open to contract + full time. I thrive at brand voice/tone and community/culture. I have successfully built my own channels besides supporting brands.

My best advice (and something I wish I did earlier in my career!) is to create a social media portfolio. Some of my favorite projects are now hours-long scrolls back. I am always impressed when a candidate has a site where I can not only look at their work but also their thinking. I love Alex Hao's here: https://alexhaobao.com/. Don't be like me! Start compiling your work in a doc! You can always turn it into a site later on.
