Uber driver: What do you do?
Me: HC Consultant

Better than telling them you are a tech consultant. Then the Uber driver spends 20 minutes telling you about their app idea they need help with, or worse that they used to work in tech and can you give them a job?

I almost got out of Pharma... A CD from a Consumer agency doing solid work reached out, and I was so excited thinking I could finally do the kind of work I love. Then they told me they will fill the position with a current employee. I played it cool, but I can’t deny I felt frustrated. I don’t wanna do healthcare, but it seems like it’s the only thing available in NYC nowadays. I also don’t have many connections in this city. So, IF you need an ACD/Art (full-time or FL-to-perm), let’s chat! 🙌🏻
