🥂 Cheers to Your Jobs Board Success
Applying quickly will up your chances of jobs board success. If you’re a paid subscriber, you should get an email as soon as an opportunity is posted, so it’s a good idea to make sure those emails are landing in your inbox!
If you’re a paid subscriber and you’re *not* getting emails when I post a new job, you might need to tweak some settings - you can check out Substack’s support article here.

Since I started freelancing in 2012, things haven’t always been how they are now. I have a weird problem that I never ever anticipated.
It’s lovely to see you here! If you have any questions, chuck ‘em in the comments.

(My top tip = ask to speak to a human so that they send your question to a real human support person, and you don’t go round in circles with a robot.)
