Going on month 4 of being out of a job and the depression is starting to kick in. Not really sure where else to turn but staying in bed all day, even when I have interviews. Still going to keep my head up though ☀️

Same here. Look at it as vacation time you’ll never get again once things pickup. Great time to get back in shape, learn new things and do stuff you never had time for when you were working. Keep networking. Hang in there, you’re definitely not alone.

I was unemployed from feb, and just got a job (aug). For 5 months I had no leads, until the past month.

Keep urself busy, learn new stuff, entertain yourself. It’s only temporary. And also take some time to reflect and be grateful for what u CAN do right now. Like not being tied to ur desk. Being able to take a long afternoon walk outside. A mid-day shopping trip. You’re so lucky to even get an interview and chat with someone. And your happiness / life does NOT depend on a job, while an income certainly helps :) Hang in there!

GET OUT OF BED!! You know that’s not okay. Make the changes you need to and find someone/a therapist to chat with. Get the help you need. Your value is not defined by your job.

That sounds difficult, and I’m sorry you’re still searching for work. You WILL land something! Try and stay positive and plan some activities during the week to make you feel productive. Maybe go for a daily walk to get out of your house? You got this!! 🌈

Sounds simple but redecorate or reshuffle your furniture/bed! A change of room decor and position does wonders. It gives your brain a physical kick start that things are going to be different!

So, after a year of not so quietly making it known that I wanted to make the transition from the tech side to the business side I have officially been extended an offer to take on a Project Manager internally (coming from a software configurer). The client I have been assigned to has many of our products, however, the specific project I have been assigned to is a problem child and has damaged the companies relationship with the client. Any advice for a new, young PM being shoved into a problem?

I have been at my company for 3.5 years. One year ago (2.5 years into my employment with them) they re-leveled everyone and I was bumped to an entry level position on the terms that they changed my job title when they re-leveled, so “technically” I am at the early stages of my new title. Even though the job duties did not really change.
I’m not sure the best way to approach this. Has anyone else had a similar experience or know how I should advocate for myself?

How do you create the visual direction of a print campaign for example? Is it generally just about creating a mood board that sets the look and feel? Should it be specific (as in drawing or illustrating) with the pose and the framing?

Cause my thinking is more of the former where you give the photographer their own take of the idea. Curious to know how you do it.

A couple of ppl in my previous agency, saw a competitor acct try a very interesting idea that we thought was cool — but their execution was super localized, in europe, and was not even done to its fullest potential. So, they didnt get ANY press (just like two articles from random websites). Fast forward and Im at another agency, thinking that now more than ever, that idea could be done better. Is it fair game?
