Struggling to find a job in marketing after getting laid off

I got laid off in mid june from an insurance company i worked at for 9.5 years (we got bought out, my role was eliminated, there were other lay offs). Before layoffs it was a 35+ person company. I started as a marketing coordinator then got promoted to marketing director but i only managed one other person on the marketing team

I made it to the fourth and final round interview at a big company. Got rejected because the company i worked at was too small and i didnt have big company experience. That was about a month ago. Then yesterday a recruiter tells me a company is passing on me because i’m “overqualified” the recruiter told me the marketing director title probably scared off the client. Is it the right move to change the title from marketing director to marketing manager? My old job always said our titles were flexible, it was a very small informal company

I’m currently doing freelance stuff for a fitness group. Should i mention it’s freelance on the resume or mention it to a recruiter if they ask about it? Or do i just act like i’m currently employed?

It’s just incredibly frustrating. I’m constantly being told i dont have the right experience…yet i check almost every box on the job description. What am i doing wrong? I know the job market sucks but i’m getting desperate. I’m not looking for anything incredible. I’d settle for something between around $60k or less but i was hoping to make something closer to $75k.

What else should i be doing? I think i’m pretty decent at interviewing. I could always be better but i dont think that’s where the weakness is. It feels like it always comes down to not having the ideal experience

Help me win against my niece

Alright this is embarrassing to admit but by my 9 year old niece got really good at mario kart, so good that she’s better than me now. Not only that she’s really good at smack talk and I was HUMBLED last time i played her in mario kart.

I own mario kart 8 deluxe on switch but i’ve only ever really played casually except for in college when i played almost every day one semester with my roommates. So I’m a little out of practice i guess

I usually play as peach and drive the yoshi bike with azure rollers and the cloud glider. Should i switch something up? Also any tips/advice in general would be SUPER helpful

Trouble beating cortez

First time playing and i’ve lost to him three times but each time i fight him it lasts forever.

I feel like i’m doing decent damage to him but then his swords and hook sprout back up and i just cant keep up HP wise. I’ve already doubled back to the item shop to stock up on mushrooms but i feel like i need a stronger attack.

Bobbery does decent damage. What am i missing?

Help with bowser levels

First time ever playing and I’m having trouble getting past the part where you play as bowser under water at the end of chapter 4 and it keeps resetting me to the beginning when i die.

I keep failing to clear my jumps. I feel like it should be so simple! Am i missing something?

Might just need a break i’ve been playing for too long lol

Help with chapter 4

First time playing and I can’t beat the anti mario in twilight town. He asked me his name and i guessed both Slick and Mario but nada

I found vivian and listened to the crows but didnt get any useful intel, although i do really enjoy what they have to say

What am i missing here? Does guessing his name help me beat the anti mario? I’ve used a bunch of different items on him and it doesnt seem like he takes any damage

Pink or blue?

I posted the blue dress earlier but most of the comments were about my chest (please be kind, i’m a little asymmetrical) so here’s both dresses with a strapless bra that i plan to wear. I purposely dont suck in my stomach when i’m debating what to wear because i want to see the outfit in a more natural/unflattering angle (again please be kind and dont make comments about my posture)

The wedding dress code is:

Wedding- Cocktail attire: We suggest men wear a suit or dress shirt with a tie and women wear a cocktail dress or dressy separates.

The coral color dress is a MOH dress from a previous wedding, the blue dress i just bought today. The coral one also pieces of fabric that can be tied around the neckline so that it’s not strapless.

Did i make the right decision?

I bought the blue dress today but looking back pictures i think i look better in the green. The only issue is that the green was slightly too tight (i could probably order the green online and return the blue) but also the green seemed a little informal in person whereas the blue seemed more wedding appropriate.

The dress code on their wedding website says: Wedding- Cocktail attire: We suggest men wear a suit or dress shirt with a tie and women wear a cocktail dress or dressy separates.

Both dresses are from the same shop. The blue cost $94 and the green cost $118 so pretty similar price points.
