Feeling like I'm in a phase of zero motivation and zero zeal, and it's surely showing in the way I'm able to work. What do you do when you're stuck in this way? Almost always, what works for me is to read a fiction book, but this time I think I want to read an inspiring/educational book. What's the most inspiring book on marketing you've read.. or a biography of a marketing genius?

“Made to Stick” by Chip and Dan Heath for marketing inspo, or check out David Ogilvy’s autobiography. It’s full of wild stories from a true marketing legend. Both can light a spark

When I'm feeling burned out at work, the last thing I want to do is read a marketing book. Like you mentioned, I'd rather read a fiction book or something funny.

Hello,

I have cleared interview with Wipro a month ago and after 15 days I received a simple mail from HR saying you are selected.

Since that day, there is no communication from HR team of Wipro . I tired of sending multiple emails and when I tried to call he always declines my call.

Between director of respected technology is reaching me and he wants me to join ASAP and take over the project work.

What should I do now?

Thanks

I’ve been approached my by company that one of our large clients (who im currently project managing for) is looking for a consultant of sorts, and if they hire us, I’d be the first person asked to take on this consultant role. This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?

I’m so tired of hearings “we want to keep the meeting small”. That’s fine if you don’t want to include me but when you promise the client something that you didn’t clear by production..

My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.

We are looking to restructure our marketing team (B2B IT services) and one of the questions I have is: how does recruitment marketing / employer branding fit into the marketing team?
