It worked for me while I was using it, but I would get off track whenever I got interrupted. I think that’s why I eventually stopped using it. But as far as productivity tricks, it’s my favorite one I’ve tried.

Is there anyone in HR that can clarify this for me a little- Hawaii is a state that prohibits future employers from asking your salary. How does this apply to remote positions? Is it only based on the home state of the company? Or would it apply because I am applying from Hawaii?

Hi, I cleared all the rounds in mindtree as per the information from mindtree recruitment team. But my current status in their portal is "Parked"(Earlier it was "Shortlisted"). When I called and asked them they mentioned I've cleared all the rounds and my offer has sent for approval and once they get the approval then they will inform me or send me an offer

May I know how long does it take to get offer from mindtree once all rounds are cleared. I'm bit concerned becuz it's more than 17 days now

Hey everyone, we are more than halfway through 2022 at this point! What are some of your goals for the remainder of the year?

the main partner I work for hasn’t been giving me consistent enough work (or type I want) so while I work for him still on some deals, I’ve had to go and get other work from other partners. He doesn’t regularly check in on what I’m working on. He keeps volunteering me for projects without checking if I have capacity and if he expected to know everything I’m working on… he would’ve thought I was just doing nothing the last 2 months. I don’t know how to address this workload balancing with him!

I spent the first few years out of school working in music before getting into advertising as an account person. Quickly realized it wasn’t for me. Busted my ass working with the creatives on the side until I was able to build a decent enough portfolio for an agency to take a chance on me as a full time CW. I think I’ll be a Senior CW soon, but it feels like most folks my age (30) have been in that role for a bit or already past it. Since I can’t turn back time, any tips for catching up?

If you’re full-time at an agency but looking for additional work as a freelancer, do you say you’re currently working at said agency during an interview for a possible freelance gig? I’ve had an instance where they said they can’t hire someone at another agency due to a conflict of interest. I love my current gig, so going freelance FT isn’t an option. What would you do in a situation like this? Is there a workaround, as it’s typically ghostwriting anyway with zero by-lines?
