Keep it general. Say you’ve got an appointment

A specific type of doc appointment. Skin, allergies, nose, etc. They’ll be running tests. So it will take a bit.

Lol the tried, true and trusted excuse. I miss when I worked in midtown and cld hop out to an interview for a couple of hours during lunch without having to request time off.

Plumbing or chlamydia

@ the Geo peeps: isn’t everyone leaving? 😂

Yea just be vague. It makes you seem cool.

Doctors apt for sure 👌🏻

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company.

I’ll of course prep for the interviews but am afraid to burn potential bridges if I ultimately decline because I’m still figuring things out.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
