I’ve used it twice and both times was chatting with people looking to break-in to advertising. I enjoyed both calls, but that ain’t exact what I’m looking for out of the thing, seeing as how I’m really not trying to work at any ad agency for the foreseeable future.

Networking, really. I’m working now, but in a city I’m relatively new to. And, the last job search before starting this gig was awful. Just hoping to improve my chances should there come a next time.

I myself am not sure why I have heard creatives recommending it. When I finally got to the “front of the line” and was able to be matched, it felt like a throwback to when I knew nothing about the industry and would attend networking events and the like promoting startups and BNI meetups.

I agree with ACD1 though. I’d just shoot the shit. You never know. But afterwards OP, you can do exactly what I did: change your settings to not wanting to be matched by anyone and then forget about it.

Yeah it’s very bizarre how they set you up with someone just by interests. I’m not looking to match up with random people....lol it’d make much more sense if you could choose exactly which titles you’d like to talk to. But yeah I think I’m also just going to pretend it doesn’t exist and change my settings -_-

To clarify, the person I’m set up to meet is a festival producer and I’m only looking to talk to people in advertising.

It's not like this is your last ever lunch on this earth. Could it really hurt to just to shoot the shit with this person for 20minutes? Never know, you might learn something. Or make a connection that could come in handy down the road.

Hmmm I DO like festivals (perhaps I could snag a future free pass??)

Just took a positive pregnancy test this morning!! I can’t focus on work!! I got off the pill in March and figured it would take us a little while to get pregnant. I missed my period last week so took a pregnancy test yesterday (oh the irony) and it was positive! Part of me didn’t believe it so I bought a test from a diff brand, took it this AM, and it was positive again. I’m half terrified and half want to shout from the rooftops!! (It’s our first.) So posting here bc I can’t tell anyone yet!!!

We work exclusively together so if I rock the boat its going to get even more uncomfortable. What would you do?
