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’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!

They pushed back.
