A lot of PR people do integrated and versatile work that is extremely intricate and includes creative. Also, they’re good diplomats. I’d say it depends on the work they’ve previously done.

Agree with this! I went PR to ad account side and have been pleasantly surprised by how my skill sets have transferred.

Unless the PR account person understands how much the role differs from an ad account person and understands how different the ways of working with the team is.

Agree. Wouldn’t hire in someone from ad. They will be bored and feel limited. Account plays a very different role in PR.

Hi! I have been seriously applying for weeks upon weeks for a scrum master position/agile coach. But it’s hard getting an offer 😢

Been on the job hunt for the past 3 months. Applied to 200+. Interviewed with 15 companies (big tech + mid sized) but failing at either hiring manager round or ghosted after onsite. I’ve spent hours everyday applying, researching companies and prepping for interviews, watching videos, reading books, but just can’t seem to close the deal. Feeling so stuck, anxious and frustrated all the time.

Any advice how to get out of this situation?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
