Based in the Midwest and very eager to move to the west coast. I’ve applied to so many jobs, but I feel like no one will even look at my application based on my address alone. I leave off my resume but they require it when filling out their application. Currently I’m an ACD with 9 years of experience, in-house. Any tips appreciated!

Do you have any friends in the West coast that could let you use their address to apply for these jobs?

Agree on putting LA on resume ☝️
LA in general in my experience is slow and flaky with hiring. Most get jobs through people they’ve worked with before or people they know. It took me a while to adjust to this, outside of advertising too, it always felt like people not really looking to hire.

Hmm…I wouldn’t hide your location. Why? Because that can hurt you. If you’re in Chicago, that’s a boost bc Chicago has much more impressive accounts than LA does. And what about your resume? How do you hide that? Connect on LI with those you admire and add a note as to WHY you are connecting. Reach out.

Chicago has more impressive accounts than LA? LMFAO

I have no talent for awards work. What should I do?

Which one would you pick?

Big name shop. Shitty account, but you get opportunities beyond that.

Shop with bad reputation that lacks PR and hardly enters awards but has a lot of book-worthy projects.

I expressed a need for a promotion or raise to compensate for the major increase in responsibility, a responsibility that is not currently in my description.

They pushed back.
