Any tips for finding associate strategist roles or any junior roles for someone who’s only had one internship in an agency (so not that many connections)? LinkedIn feels hopeless and idk if (or how) I should cold message recruiters…
Thank you in advance 🙏

Has anyone been given an offer or received further movement on their application after a month or more from your last interview? Not sure if it’s odd that the company reached out after my final round interview to have a call and “discuss next steps” but then they haven’t responded to me since I’ve followed up (I’ve poked 3 times every 11 days or so but I plan to leave it be now until they respond).

Does HR reference check multiple candidates after final interviews or should I expect an offer once my references check out?

Hi guys,
I have cleared all the rounds for LTI post which I received autogenerated mail and then later HR asked to upload documents. In how many days can I expect offer letter?

Looking to pivot into managerial. Can someone take a look at my resume? Tips would be appreciated as well!

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Almost a week with On-site interview and it’s been a radio silence from my recruiter. Should I reach back to them or is it normal? Not at all impatient, just trying to know what’s the norm.

Hi Friends, I’m currently interviewing for a role with the Alexa team at Amazon. The last I heard was I was moved to the final loop interview. It’s been 3 weeks since I heard from my recruiter since then. They let me know there’s a re org/shift happening internally and recruitment has been paused. Can anyone please share any insights if they have them? Not sure how much longer to wait before looking elsewhere. Thanks so much.

Hi..
I Appeared for an interview for RPA - Automation Anywhere. I didn't got any response after the interview. Then when I reached hiring manager through LinkedIn I got to know I cleared all the rounds but my expected cts is high so they might have rejected. First thing is I never said what I am expecting . And I clearly told In managerial round that I am open for salary discussion.

But no one responded. Will I get the call back in time? Or I just leave it and go ahead with other companies?

I have an informational interview with a director of a consulting firm. I’m currently in banking. It’s just been 6 months at this job for me. It’s too slow for me. How do I tell this director why I want to work with him and justify why I want to leave my current firm just after 6 months? I’m an analyst and the role I’m targeting is also analyst level role

I’ve been with my company for 4 years and I’m thinking about applying for a new job. For references, I would like to use my coworkers but I also don’t want to bring up the fact that I’m applying to other places. How should I handle my references when it comes to applying or interviewing with other companies?

Found out my interview this week will be with PMs of different levels so they can decide who wants me on their team, but recruiter won’t give me any specifics on client/brand, print or digital, etc...

I’m currently in the US but starting to miss the family and friends in Europe... The agency I’m at have offices there. How common are transfers? Who do I talk to in the agency? Don’t want to come off as I want to leave but more so that I want to be closer to my family.

Max or Lewis fault?

I think it’s 100% on max. By breaking so late he was banking on Lewis backing down, which was very risky.

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!

Have upcoming intro calls with a few recruiters next week. Looking for advice and how the discussion should go as I don’t really have much context. Any help would be appreciated!

🐠 in Maui. I’m planning to visit in about 2-3 weeks. Wanted to see if you think it’s worth postponing given the big storm that just passed by. Or was the impact relatively minor? Hope all is well 🙏

Have you ever got caught freelancing for another agency while you’re full time at different one?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

How many months in is it normal to hate a new job vs you've given it a long enough chance to know it's a wrong fit?

How important are references on a resume? I'm still at the agency I started at out of college so all my references would be people I work with now...who I don't want to know I'm leaving yet.
