Ever since getting laid off in January, it’s been HORRID getting interviewed for AM/PM roles at agencies. I’ve made it to numerous final rounds but not getting offers. It’s even more frustrating seeing friends in different industries get positions only after 1 interview, so unfair I hate this

Don't take it personally. I did for days and then realized it is just a numbers game. Don't quit. There is a job out there for you and I both. I'm a freelancer with a couple big clients but I too get let go when they get desperate thinking a large agency will magically produce customers. I too have let go of red flag clients. I'm learning to stop obsessing nightly. I tell myself... I'm safe all is well and out of this - only good will come. A way better thought then - I'm doomed. Hang in there.

You are absolutely not alone—especially in our field right now. Not getting offers isn't about you, it's about the number of candidates recently flooding openings. Keep going while others give up and you will get an offer.

And get outside, enjoy everything working all-day every-day kept you from doing before. That open time won't last and you deserve to avoid filling it with unemployment rumination between interviews.

What market?

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
