Had a final interview with a TBWA agency earlier this week and the recruiter scheduled a call with me later today with an update. Does TBWA ever call candidates with bad news to tell them they didnโ€™t get the job? Or should I be expecting an offer? The job search has beat me up so much that I no longer expect a recruiter call after a final interview to have news with an offer :(

Typically if youre getting a call itโ€™s them needing more information from you or youre getting an offer.

WEโ€™RE ROOTING FOR YOU!!!!!!!

Could be a lot of things. Maybe they want you to talk to other people. Maybe they want to hire you. Maybe theyโ€™re lonely and just need a friend. Probably not that last one. Donโ€™t stress on it, just wait and see.

Sending you good vibes. Never heard of a call to deliver bad news. Maybe at executive levels that is more the norm.

Pretty sure you either got it, or it's a next steps convo.

Good luck and hang in there. If you are this close to getting in such a good agency, you will be fine regardless.

A call after a final interview typically means good news. Like others said, maybe they need more info, but I would think that could have been discussed over email. Keep us posted!! Sending you all the good vibes!!

LFG. You got the job.

Definitely good news. It might be something about a change in creative group, or different title to the one they first suggested, or another detail they want to discuss. Go into it feeling positive and assuming the best. Good vibes are contagious. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Dear Fishbowl PPCers I need your help!

A client is insisting we used Adobe bod manager for their campaigns, and neither me nor my team have experience with it.

We're also not on a timeline where we can really get up to speed on it ahead of a couple deadlines.

I've also argued for budget for external consulting hours and that's been disapproved.

I'm on my own. Or am I?

Hoping some kind soul with experience managing Google Ads through Adobe can help me out.
