I was laid off from a resource management role, working with employees approaching or on the bench, working with managers to staff projects, and support functions like report creation, scheduling, etc. Roles like this are few and many large consulting firms have frozen internal hiring. Do you think it would be beneficial to get a SHRM cert? Would that help get a "talent related" HR role? Worth the money? I have a background in recruitment as well.

Small town teachers....how do you get past the insulation? I can’t talk to anyone in my district about issues I’m having with admin because it’s a small town & they cover each other and gaslight you. The school district only cares about their PR and has vague policies that keep us from saying against them, yet we can’t say anything TO them either. My union rep is trying to help but she also said that it’s all too common for small towns. They always win & you just have to suck it up or get fired.

I was laid off from my job awhile back and I have a gap through temp jobs I was doing. How should I display this on my resume? Leave the gap or say contractor or temp.

Joining the ranks of those being laid off due to Covid, I’m now looking to go freelance. Having worked as an Agency Producer my entire career, but jobs now being scarce I’m looking to broaden my horizon and also seek work in Production Companies. For those of you who are doing both, or did the switch, what did you find most different or challenging going from Agency to Production Company side? Was there anything that threw you off or that you hadn’t anticipated? Any regrets? Pitfalls to avoid?

Getting laid off seems to be more common than it should be in this industry. How bad does it look if you have been laid off twice or is that also more common than I realize?

Are any agencies doing Q2 layoffs? It’s been quiet, hopefully that’s a good sign

When’s the right time in an interview process to bring up a past DUI if an application doesn’t ask about past criminal charges? I have 8 years experience, the DUI was 10 years ago (college) and I haven’t dealt with this since joining PwC way back when. Do you be forthcoming during interviews, bring it up in conjunction with authorizing a background check, deal with it on the back end, etc? It’s old enough that hopefully isn’t going to be a big deal but unfortunately it will follow me.
