Advice for GSAP? Thinking of applying this year.

I think so. Been with the firm for nearly 3 years, submitted intent to apply. Received great PE ratings this year for 3/4 PEs (one was a relic of a shitty project with less than 100 hours which gave me a 3 - working w my counselor to build a story which ignores that). My concern is my ratings. My first year was better than average, second year was average bc of a family situation which required me to work remotely / take leave for many months (leadership was aware), and I think this year will be better than average again. Hoping that my network can help assuage concerns about my performance roller coaster.

Do you meet the requirements? (Intent to apply, ratings, number of years with the firm, network, etc..)

I have a game I love to play at the airport. I find someone who has the most vague resemblance to someone famous and then insist they are that person.

Like "Oh my God, you're Tom Hanks! I love so many of your movies and I think you are great and so funny in interviews. How are you feeling? I heard you had covid?"

Guy who very very vaguely resembles Tom Hanks insists he isn't. Then I keep insisting he is.

This is a fun way to pass time during layovers.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

Post-Covid, I just cannot seem to find the inspiration to network at a conference such as the AWS DC summit. I initially wanted to get facetime with vendors to check out potential job openings.

But it just feels like a large circle jerk where no productive work gets done. And besides all keynote addresses are recorded and available online anyway.

Wondering if anyone out there feels differently or has had better experiences from these events? #aws
