Freelancers: when do you usually start looking for a new gig? Is interviewing for a new job as shady when you freelance - since everyone knows you're temp? First timer here and clueless!

Maximize my postings:
1. Where does Macquarie group stand in the order of things. 2. Do you withdraw from an interview via mail or phone call 3. How many days after do you accept an offer if you want the job, do you wait till the last day??

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward. I’m really trying to break into method development roles and I haven’t had the opportunity to do so with my analytical experience. A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?

Technically, I'm not a college student anymore because I just graduated in December. I am having trouble finding jobs within my field (Communications with little experience in marketing). I've gotten plenty of interviews, but none of them have made it past the first formal interview (phone screening then interview). Any advice?

Going for a final round interview with OW Dubai. Can anyone share their experience?

What is the interview process for a experienced candidate at Tata elixsi? For reactJS developer role.

EY application has turned to “We'd like to progress you to the next step in our recruiting process”. How soon does communication begin and typically how long is the process?

Hi Fishes…
REFERRAL PROBLEM..
Lately i observed that people are not able to refer me as i already applied for that company in the past.

HOW TO overcome this? Will NEW MAIL on resume differentiate my profile?

What is the unique key used by companies for cross checking in their database?

Have you had to take a copy test or been given an unpaid assignment as part of a job interview? If so, was it for a freelance gig or full-time job? Was it for an agency or in-house?

Had 2nd round with HM but noticed the job posting was pulled 2 days ago. Getting the vibe they’re planning to fill it internally. Any other telltale signs that’s the case?

Currently a senior interested in consulting but a mix of coming from a non target and requiring sponsorship has me losing hope. Any recommendations on how to proceed with recruiting? I've been told only MBB will sponsor entry level consultants. I have both VC and Consulting experiences through internships.

Any other integrated agencies working in Agile across the full agency? Trying to understand how this plays out as we roll it out.

Do you feel it’s appropriate for a non-Latinx/Hispanic Producer to ideate or create a Spanish US/Domestic ad for the Latinx audience?

Hello fellow members of the Fishbowl community,

I am thrilled to have joined this vibrant and supportive group of professionals. As a new member, I am looking forward to learning from and connecting with others who share my interests and expertise.

I have been in the freelance web development industry for two years and have build a solid foundation of skills and knowledge. However, I know that there is always more to learn, and I am excited to tap into the collective wisdom of this community.

I hope this is still a living bowl.

Hi! So glad to find this bowl!
Today, I was looking through other bowls and see comments like: “Anyone tired of chasing money?” “Is it just me or as I get older do you realize how little awards and accolades mean?” And I’m reminded of how grateful I am to have my hope in something other than my work. I hope my coworkers see that in me, too. That I work hard but advertising is not what fulfills me.

I have got an addendum letter from Wipro today stating that my date of Joining has been extended by 45 days. My joining was in mid August. I have 2 options to Accept or Reject the addendum.
Can i reject the addendum, how will it impact if I reject it ?

Welcome!! Join me in discussing HA/GT tips, ideas, stories, and more!!

I teach Economics and Personal
Finance at a specialty school. I use NGPF for personal finance but I am seeking Economics lessons for G&T

We do an after school club. I'm looking for a good interest inventory to help direct our activities this year. Any recommendations?

Has anyone traveling to Canada recently? I am planning to go for four days and part of the documentation is to use the ArriveCAN app which has you complete a questionnaire. One of the questions on there is whether or not you have a suitable quarantine plan, in the event that border control requires you too. I guess I would just extend my stay at the hotel if required, does anyone know if that's an acceptable answer if asked by border control?

This bowl is rockin'

Anyone have advice for talking to teachers in your school that are upset with you?
My 4th grade class didn’t show up today because the teachers are upset that student behaviors that are an issue in music are carrying over to their classroom. I understand their frustration, but nothing was communicated with me. I even thought things were going better this week.

Someone jumped in front of my truck a few weeks back (trying to kill themselves, luckily it didn't work) and now I'm feeling so much anxiety. I don't want to leave a job I loved though. How can I cope with this?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

My new agency’s healthcare plan only has ONE physician in NYC listed as in-network... is a plan this limited the norm?!

Just got the shaft on a regular component to the clients business, how can I handle next steps?

I keep hearing about Consulting girls coming for and getting traditional advertising work...and I believe it. As a Strategy exec in Pharma advertising, what's keeping me from jumping ship to McKinsey

Hi all! Moving from TX to NY and have an offer for 80K. Is this reasonable for someone with ~3 years of experience or am I being lowballed here?

What’s it like producing at 360i NY?

Anyone on here actually in healthcare?

Nice Ronald McDonald spot, Subway. Enjoy your cease and desist letter tomorrow morning!

how’s Code & Theory these days? does it seem stable and process driven? WLB?

Any word on Swift in Portland?

is it the expectation that you will be working every weekend while you are pitching at your agency?

Dumb question.. what’s the proper etiquette for when you get a job through a recruiter who reached out to you first? A simple thank you email, a Starbucks gift card, etc?

For all the Q3 and Q4 misses, looks like most of our agencies are projecting big rev increases for Q1. Trump effect 📈 ?
