Leave pharma as early as possible. Do not lie about what agency you worked at.

Has anyone ever used the agency name without the health added on when applying to other positions? For ex: publicis instead of publicis health.

Honest question: why not just do the “amazing opportunity” in pharma?

No. You won’t. But you might fall in love with pharma.

You’re better off claiming you were a freelancer than pulling this.

No, because with “freelance” you will only need to be honest when inquired (ie: where did you “freelance” at and what accounts did you work on?). By putting “Publicis” instead of “Publicis Health” you are literally lying off the bat as you did not, in fact, work at Publicis.

Focus on your book and if you are still concerned about lazy recruiters passing you over because the word “Health” shows up in your LinkedIn, put down “freelance.” But your biggest obstacle is competing with creatives with better portfolios.

Hello 🐠ies!
Asking for help, my sister has lived at my parents’ for 24 y and they’ve always taken care of her. She’s about to leave home for her grad and she just got a loan to pay for all her expenses for the next 3 y. The money only arrived 3 w ago. She hasn’t even left yet and my parents have noticed online deliveries and spending receipts. We are worried that she might empty her account by year 1 at that rate. But just telling her to be careful doesn’t help. Cont’d

First time celebrating Halloween ever (immigrant to North America)
What are trick or treat etiquettes when handing out candy? We offer the bowl, or offer just the amount we want to give away? What do you do if there are a bunch of kids at the door?
Also, how much do you give away? If they're minis, then several, and 1 each if full sized?
Do you give them just to the kids or to anyone who's dressed up, including the accompanying adult?
Why is distributing candy so stressful 🥲
