Hey Marketing fam 👋 

Me and my team at Graphy are working to solve the very real issue for marketers of trying to visualise data AND explain it easily to stakeholders at the same time.

Hi fishes,
My friend have cleared Tata Elxsi interview 5 months back and received her offer letter. Still now she haven’t recvd a joining letter. Couple of other friends are also facing similar issue.
Does anyone have any update on this?
Tried mailing to the HR and to their help desk. No response.
Its really disappointing. Even if they are not able to onboard candidates now, the least they can do is aknowledge and respond to the queries.
Hope someone can give more insight onto this issue.

Any tips for writing music specs for tv? Any go-to directions you find work really well? Want to up my game with new and better ways to describe what’s in my head. Thanks, fish!

I put the clients that I worked on in my resume but most of them aren’t necessarily concept-centric (banners, retail design, etc) and therefore I don’t put them in my portfolio. Been interviewing recently and have been asked to show the work I did for those brands. What do I do?
