Passed test first time with 3 driving faults but have imposter syndrome

Managed to pass first time at 8:10am yesterday which I’m obviously very happy with but I can’t help but think, what if the hill start was steeper, what if I got parallel park instead of forward bay etc. Did anyone else feel like this? I’m fine with general driving but not perfect by any means. I know people say the real driving begins now.

Stuck in my job with no confidence of being able to move anytime soon

*Let me preface with saying, I’m grateful to even have a job in this current market

Been in a lower/mid weight marketing role for 4 years. Progression’s been pretty much non existent, budgets are tight so people keep leaving and their work just gets spread around the rest of us.

Earlier this year I applied for my first job in ages. It was quite niche and I had direct experience with the platform they used so I got an interview and an offer with a decent pay rise. Turned it down because it was fixed term and didn’t want to take the risk. Definitely kicking myself now but felt more like a good excuse to shake off the cobwebs.

I think that first offer gave me a false sense of confidence. Since then I’ve applied for about 10 roles. I know that’s not loads but I tailor every CV and answer all job portal questions so each one takes a fair bit of time. Haven’t had a single interview, even for roles where I have experience with specialist areas they’re asking for.

Anyone else finding this? What’s your rough application-to-interview ratio? Just trying to work out whether this is the reality of the market or whether my applications need a lot of work

Can someone help me identify which film this person uses

I thought it might be Kodak but I’m a complete beginner. I love the high contrast vibrancy of the shots. It’s @capturecharles for anyone who is interested

Is this artist’s work hand drawn, thresholded from images or a combination of both?

Feels like it’s meant to look hand drawn but also looks like it’s been built from photos then smashed with threshold.

Some parts feel a bit too niche/specific to be an existing image though, which is throwing me off.

Am I overthinking it or nah? Really into this artist’s work

Instructor keeps telling me to go from 3rd to 1st (not stopping) on side road left turns - is this normal?

My instructor often tells me to go from 3rd straight down to 1st when turning left into side roads which are quite tight. I can do it but it always feels a bit juddery even when I’m down to around 10mph.

I mentioned it to my family and they all said they’d normally use 2nd for most side road turns and only go into 1st if they’re almost stopping or it’s a really tight turn.

I find going from 3rd or 4th into 2nd nice and smooth and the car seems happy with it. Is there a reason my instructor is teaching it this way? Is it something that’s expected on the test or is 2nd gear generally fine for most side road turns?

Had a recent client use their 2 free revisions on my logo design gig. Completely fair since they’re included in the price but both revisions were just text changes because the buyer changed their mind from the original brief. Buyers should obviously be allowed to do that but with Fiverr’s AI system constantly monitoring whether you’re a “good” seller, I can’t help feeling like revisions like this probably still affect your ranking even when the changes aren’t really down to you
