In advertising, interview processes always took 3-4 months (NYC & LA agencies, Account Sup-Director roles). I recently accepted a clientside job offer, and first recruiter call to offer letter was about 6 weeks.

It can sometimes be longer! But usually not that long.

Yeah. I've had multiple places warn me the hiring process would likely be 2-3 months.

Hi everyone. I applied for a couple of roles at a tech company, I have a panel interview coming up but since that’s been arranged another HR coordinator has reached out to do a screening interview for the 2nd role I applied for.

How do I approach this, the screening call is a couple of days before my panel interview?

Been through all interviews, recruiter said it's looking good but they would let me know early this week and asked if that works from a timing perspective since they know I was interviewing with someone else also. I said yeah that's fine. Would it be weird to follow up today or should I wait to hear from them? Want this one over the other but don't want to seem desperate..

Hi all, I was curious about companies that have their own in-house advertising. I’m in digital media, specifically, SEM and potentially looking to leave the agency side. Primarily due to low pay, and management issues. Given this, any company recs that have a solid foundation with digital media? Any advice from people who’ve been on both the agency and branded side?

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.
