Hi guys, I hope anyone reading this is doing well. I am currently looking for a part-time job (very toxic company forced me to sign a resignation letter, instead of just allowing me to work online due to my health issues, and half of my salary is being spent on doctors and medication because of this), and so I thought I'd share here as well.

I am 24F, very experienced in art, design, creative marketing and especially social media marketing. Perhaps somebody needs a social media manager / content creator / creative problem solver and idea generator for their business?

I am NOT looking for a full time job, because I am emotionally and physically burned out, my health is not doing so great, and I have a lot on my plate to begin with, which is why I am aiming for something flexible, within social media / design / art etc.
Here is my full skillset (not listing my fashion-related skills because I am saving them for my small business):

2D graphic design (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Canva)
Concept, Colour Theory, Typography and Layout Design
Photo and Video editing skills
Product photography and videography
Native (British level) English, native Russian, sub-par Azerbaijani, and B1-B2 italian.
Great soft skills, I'm good with people (and animals lol)
Social media marketing (including Meta ads) and management
Proof-reading and translating in Russian and English
Creative writing and editing, especially in English
Visual merchandising and Merch-related graphic design
Marketing (PR) event hosting, photography and videography
Microsoft PowerPoint and Word. (Please don't make me use excel, I will internally cry.)
Artistic Design & Multi-media art
Art Direction
Window design (for stores, etc.)

I was an SMM and graphic designer for many business, one of which (RoniLux Optics) closed in May of 2025, because the owner decided to sell the Azerbaijani branch for personal reasons, and the instagram page is STILL receiving followers and requests about people wanting to buy a pair of glasses. Almost a year since the closing, and the page is still active.
I was last a marketing manager for the Instax Fujifilm division at a multi-national company that shall be named down below (because the bosses are awfully abusive people), while also running their Fujifilm and Sigma pages completely for free.
I was essentially getting payed the salary of one social media manager (1000 AZN) for the job of 4 (I used to run the marketing for Sony Alpha as well, for 8 months, until they finally found somebody), while also not getting payed for being a photographer and promoter during events, and doing the marketing reports for other brands. Regular SMM people also get to work flexibly, while I was stuck in an office 8-5 next to a həyasız who doesn’t shower. Basically, I was overworked and underpaid, and didn't even get to enjoy my 1k, because almost half of it gets spend simply up-keeping my health. I'd rather get payed 900, or 800, but work from home for just an hour or two, while filming content on location once a week (which is what I was doing at RoniLux for example), than sit in an office 8-5, amongst toxic and immature people, and get payed 1k.

If anybody knows anyone in need of a liberal, civil, skilled and polite creative, id be so so so grateful, because I need an escape from this hellhole.

‼️the company I worked for is called ACIS Disreibutions. If you or anyone you know is looking for a job I BEG of you, don’t apply unless you’re desperate for money. They are disgusting people who will use and abuse you, underpay you while making you do the jobs of multiple people, every little move you make will be reported back to the bitch back in Kazakhstan who is now the CEO of the company (she used to be the financial director but she’s been sleeping with the owner for a long while), and if you ever ask for a raise; they won’t give you one. I was there from the beginning as soon as they opened the Baku office. Basically started their social presence from the ground. Their abuse had forced the head of Fujifilm to quit (and he’s a literal Fujifilm X ambassador) as well as the director of the Baku office - both of whom I know very well. They basically hired people who did all the dirty work, started everything from the ground up, and when the job and the showroom were almost done, they started abusing and overworking and disrespecting anyone. So again, keep yourself and your sanity safe and tell your dear ones to do the same, don’t apply for a job there.

Sending my best wishes to you all, thank you and good luck.

Hi, hope everyone reading this is having a good day)

I do my best to be eco-friendly, but because our country is still in the minor stages of sustainability, recycling is supposedly at lower levels and I know we have incineration plants for electricity - which is terrible for the environment.

I was hoping somebody would know if there are places where you can throw away plastic (with the exception of those boxes for plastic water bottles) knowing full well it’s going to be recycled. I find myself collection plastic jars from moisturisers or hair masks and things like that, basically, plastic packaging that could be re-used, because I feel guilty throwing it away knowing how harmful it is. So in order to not pollute the planet, I end up hoarding things - which is awful. Any advice on where I can dispose of my plastic responsibly?

I genuinely wish I could afford a reading rn, but I lost my job recently and have to save every penny. I got really sick because of stress (got neurosis and my decade old diplopia worsened) and they didn’t agree to letting me work from home, so I was forced to quit.

Because I can’t afford a full blown reading, I was hoping somebody would be kind enough to answer just 1 question for me? Just one. Not ten, not a full blown 1-hour conversation. I don’t even know if that sort of thing is even done here, I’d appreciate it if somebody would correct me if I’m wrong. I’d never want to cheat someone into a free reading which is why I’m being so upfront about the fact that I genuinely can’t afford more than a dollar.

If somebody could be so kind as to answer my question, what would need to happen? Do I share just my name here, or my date and time of birth + natal chart, or do I let someone read me in their own?

I’m really grateful for any advice / help / correction / boundaries that anyone may comment, and I hope everyone has a great weekend🤍thank you

My story is: I’ve gone through a lot in the past few years. The last 10 have technically been tough, and when I was 14 I went through a lot, BUT, the last few have really kicked my ass. In terms of everything. My health has taken a toll, mental and physical; most of my friends turned their backs on me or ended up becoming awful people and I was forced to distance from them; I’ve been single for 10 years and everytime I developed feelings for someone, that person would break my heart or want nothing to do with me; I was forced to leave university and start working because my father stole from his job and was fired for it; careers have been shit and whenever I found something I like, it would either close or the pay wasn’t great; etc. the list goes on.

The last 1.5 years I’ve been actively working to find a job in London and move there. Idk why but my brain became fixated on the belief that my happiness lives there. My dream job, dream flat, improving my health and happiness, my soulmate etc. I am convinced that they’re in London. My mother on the other hand (who’s a very strong negative manifestor, anytime she says something negative about me it comes true and often permanently) tells me I’m living in rose coloured glasses and that I will never find a job in London, it’s impossible, immigration is impossible. She wants me to get into university in Italy for free (you can do that if you know Italian, I’ve been studying for a little over a year)and move there. And on top of all of that, my tired soul has developed a silly stupid crush on a guy I know (who had a gf as he told our friend group last year) who lives in Barcelona.

I’m so tired. Dealing with this much + I just lost my job (which I hated) because they refused to let me work online after I got my diagnosis from my doctor. I was basically forced to quit. I now have more time on my hands to do the things I wanted to do (that my job didn’t let me) but now I’m sick and tired and don’t do much of anything. I’m barely studying Italian, I’m not working out, I’m barely working on my fashion design collection, I’m not reading books, I’m barely journaling, I’m not going on walks, I’m not applying to jobs in London etc.

I’m so, so, so tired.

🔮

So my question is: what should I aim for? Should I give up my soul dreams of London and just move to Italy? Or is my soulmate in London after all? Or is he in Spain or in Italy?

If I knew at least his name or his location I’d know what to aim for. Not to sound like a bad feminist, moving somewhere for a guy, but I need love in my life. I’d rather move somewhere I can find him faster. I’ve been single for 10 years and I’m tired of trying to do it all alone.

🌍

So. London, Barcelona or Italy? Where do I aim to?
