Creatives - how are you finding recruiters and getting interviews at in-house brands and tech companies? Seems like it’s different from agency recruiting and I’m not getting any bites with LinkedIn DMs or emailing. I just started my job search any advice is appreciated

I’ve worked for two of the “big ones”, and both times I got in by freelancing first. If they like you, they’ll prob ask you to stay.

Applying over LinkedIn job postings can be defeating. You should do it, but don’t expect to hear back.

Wish I could help. In-house is often so ridiculously siloed by department and skillsets that one type of in-house recruiter has no idea how to go about contacting their counterpart in another department. So even if you are somehow able to get in touch with a copy recruiter, they won’t be able to tell you who the recruiter is in the art department. It’s insane.

A friend of mine got into Amazon by applying online.

In-house recruiters for big tech companies and startups have cold emailed me or reached out to me on LinkedIn—that’s how I got my current job. I’ve also gotten interviews in-house by applying on LinkedIn. A lot of it might have to do with your keywords so make sure they’re relevant to the type of company you want to work for.

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
