marketing majors:
i see a ton of copywriting positions literally everywhere
i recently got contacted by a recruiter for L brands copywriting
they were paying 30/hr
this was the week before christmas and i havent heard back
._.
tough for me to land copywriting gigs just because i don't have a professional portfolio, just published works I contributed to.....
but marketing majors have portfolios, right?
or am i bugging?

I wouldn't jump so fast to that conclusion. You could simply have been overlooked for a more qualified candidate.
Nonetheless, just some tips for you to consider when you go in for an interview.
Make sure to study the JD. Make sure you clearly understand the role. If something isn't clear to you, try to find out more information. I feel like a lot of people go into an interview unprepared and end up just regurgitating on their past experiences which is already shown on the CV. Instead, try using those past experiences and relate it to the new role. What can you bring to the table which makes you fit to do the job? Elaborate. Gives examples of how you solved 'xyz' and how you handled 'abc'.
Be confident when you go in. You are who you are, and if you know you're suitable for the job.... Show them why!
Also, try to block out all distractions (my interviewer one time wore a really short skirt
) Best of luck to all of you! Hoping to hear more good in 2017!

Trust me man, I was and still am the problem. I've done this so many times and done everything you can think of, stuff just wasn't going my way and I can only look in the mirror. The sample size was pretty large too.

In this thread. No degree, I just got a certificate and was making $30/hr. Feel dumb for quitting my job, hated it though, would rather work in a warehouse for half of the pay, no joke 
Well, time to get my @ss back to school

You don't wanna live that life. Been working an 8.75 an hour 12 hour shift warehouse job for the past few months while getting my certs. **** is slowly killing me on the inside. It's only 4 days a week but I work five to get more OT and my check is still trash.

Speaking of warehouse, has anybody worked as an order selector? What do they do?

Phlebotomy. **** job. Did it for almost 5 years. If I could do it again, anything but that.
. Even going into sonography instead would pay better, with a sign on bonus.Too late
My whole thing was to maxamize my hourly wage and work less while being able to go back to school. I reached my goal, but things fell apart personally in my life. Going back to school currently, but no job now

Probably a bit off-topic, but curious what y'all think:
Co-workers all had a heated 20-minute argument over whether there should be 1 or 2 spaces after a sentence.
The older folks said 2 spaces, while the 20yo's said 1 space.
What do you guys think?

2 spaces was used for typewriters. It's an outdated standard. Most style guides will tell you to use 1 space.

One of my bosses is huge into the double space after a sentence. First person I ever saw do it. He's 40 if we're talking about ages.

If I could give you more reps I would. This is gold. I've always wanted some type of formal excel and powerpoint (lowkey, very powerful program. I've seen people make AMAZING stuff with powerpoint) training.
