EP9: Asking For What You Want–and NOT Getting It [Job Interview Story]

Ditch The Struggle with Alana Ruoso

In this episode of Ditch the Struggle we dive into:

• My deeply uncomfortable job interview for freelance work at a hot packaging design firm
• Asking for the money you want (and deserve)
• What happens when your value is openly questioned
• Losing self-esteem, confidence and faith in my abilities as a designer
• The importance of taking risks and ‘big swings’
• Why I am grateful for this interview even though it derailed me for a long time
