As mentioned in an earlier post, I made an agency role tracker to help with job searches - if anyone wants me to make them their own copy please like this post and DM me so I can send it to you along with some of the stuff that’s helped me out with interviews too. Please, I’d love to help out our community as much I can. I can start sending them out tonight and tomorrow morning if possible!

Update: we’re almost done with making the green-book too! I just need to mine thru this ad age article for more insight and will then post here in this space to where anyone can anonymously edit and participate as well with their own experiences in the industry. This green-book should be used as a helpful resource for anyone to know the dangers of certain agencies, accounts, leadership, and even opposing individuals AHEAD OF TIME for either during the interview process or as a new hire. Hoping this can help someone out there in need - much love 🫡

Can still send out more trackers too! If you need help or know if someone else may need anything, please let me know and DM me privately! I am always down to help out.

Usually the summer time is such a slow process because other workers including recruiters or hiring managers could be on vacations but around September, October, and November are good hiring times (for any organization) but December is filled with slow processes due to budgets/vacations (again). The month of January is also a bomb time for opportunities too
