Was scheduled for an interview today for a Director pos. early morning I get a Reschedule request to next Wednesday but I cannot make it due to personal commitment .
Called recuit mgr.to let him know and he tells me the director is very busy as she’s the IT. Dir for the whole org.politely asked him to send her availability other than next Haven’t received anything since then . Wondering if such co. Is worth pursuing that doesn’t value others time and that too a replacement pos for the same busy role 🥹

You’re not at all wrong. For some reason it’s dead out here in LA. Not seeing any entry level jobs at any of the agencies. Hopefully stuff changes in the new year but know you’re not alone.
Im applying to New York roles and hoping someone is open to remote or funding relocation.
OP: Unfortunately the majority of creative jobs are never advertised. But there are a few things you can do to get a foot in the door.
1. Make a list of the places you like and track down the names of the internal recruiter /creative resource manager/ head of talent at each place. Start a conversation with them and check in regularly to see if they’ve won business, or are building their team.
2. If they’re not hiring right now, you can still ask if you can meet with the CDs and show them your work.
A few that come to mind are: TBWA\CHIAT\DAY LA, Special Group LA, 72andSunny LA, Anomaly LA, Deutch LA, BBDO LA and 180 LA.
3. Get in touch with headhunters who work with the LA market. Eg. ‘Creative Search Consultants’. They place talent but are paid by the agency, so you get what you’re worth. It may take time to find headhunters who truly appreciate you, especially at the junior level, but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t start approaching them early on your career to build a relationship. They may be helpful and have good leads for you.
(NOTE: I’m not talking about staffing companies like Creative Circle who take a huge cut of your pay. Avoid those at all costs).
Hope this helps. Your persistence will pay off. ✨
I've reached out to some head hunters this morning!
Chiat LA is hiring to work on directTV… not sure if they need juniors, but worth a shout!
I'll look into it. I've got Tech writing experience. Thank you!
