Has anyone had to pitch via zoom/teams/gtm? Any best practices or watch outs you’ve found?

What website can you use to play simple games over zoom (Chinese checkers, chess, checkers)?

Any of your firms do virtual gifts or corporate appreciation for your teams? We want to do something for our hard working team that is spread out over the nation but not make it an event where we’re stuck doing over zoom. Ideally something like wine delivery just to show appreciation

Happy Wednesday! I am trying to plan with our AP and climate lead on what we can do in distance learning as a school wide event. I suggested we still host our multicultural club assemblies on zoom for the school. Anyone have experience with zoom assemblies to promote a positive climate in DL? Thanks!

I’m interviewing for BCG and had a principal reach out to me for a zoom chat. Is this normal for principals to reach out or is this a positive sign?

This Friday is the 1 Yr. Anniversary Party of AIR. All members are highly encouraged to attend Friday’s zoom call to celebrate, recount stories and play the Trivia Game for awesome prizes!!! Keep eyes peeled for your email invite and hope to see you then!

Is it just me or have you also noticed that during the endless back to back zoom/teams meetings, people drift away and not take down action points?

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute. I am having discussions with my teachers on ways that I can better support them and the students when remote.

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

Zoom meetings have been fantastic. I can highly recommend my home group SOS. 7:30 daily. Great way to get grounded as you start your day.

Has anyone seen any unique places to find UX portfolios or post jobs other than the usual suspects?
Some UX Slack channels were doing well for a while but I definitely don’t see as much traction there. Meetups obviously came and went. Even the portfolio sites like Dribbble and Behance don’t seem that same.

What’s the dress code for zoom interviews? So far, I’ve definitely been dressed more formally than my interviewers but could be because they were tech companies

Mac or HP or Dell: I prefer Mac notebooks. However it seems there might be limitations with the use of Skype or other applications based on materials I have seen. What do you all recommend is the best laptop for working at Deloitte?

Seeking a producer running the in-house production arm at an agency for AIR’s next panel discussion. Topic: Best Practices working with Freelence Directors and Sales Reps. Please message me or comment below. Chat is this Monday on zoom. Thank you!!!

Do firms ever rescind offers if you slack of and end up with a poor G.P.A.? I’m talking full time offers after graduation.

So...
What to do? What to do?

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

Thoughts?

Anyone know of remote or Chicago based UI UX jobs that are open to hiring entry level designers?

Received offers from PNC and UBS. Same position. Same benefits. Purely seeking opinions on the companies. Previous experience at EJ. Left to get away from outside sales nature and isolation.

To what degree is the US economy isolated from the world's madness? There has to be a breaking point right?

What is the potential to change service lines or even practices at McKinsey once you're hired into one?

Is a 2200/2400 sat score worth putting on my resume/application?

Any BCG folks out there open to having a conversation?

Offered a referral from someone at Deloitte but haven't heard back in 10 days since sending the job posting as they asked. I sent a follow-up email that has been read but still no reply.

Would anyone be willing to offer a referral for a Human Capital/Digital transformation position? I am worried the position will be filled as it has been posted for a month! Any leads would be appreciated and as always I am willing to sit down and chat with anyone!

Looking for remote working opportunities as a Business Anlayst or Product Owner. Have 5+ years for work experience as a Business Analyst/Product Owner post MBA.
Please share any possible openings or referrals.
Thanks !

Hi folks,
Workflow management in BTP. Anybody has knowledge.. Hands-on?

Best consulting firms for the retail and CPG industries?

Anyone knows what's the payscale for Big 4 auditors for SA and below? And how is the work at audit like lately? Heard the turnover rate is beyond extreme after the pandemic and there's no longer a non-peak?

How do I push back on a manager who forwards "urgent requests" from leadership to me at the end of a Friday... When they got the original request earlier in the day (according to email time stamp)

TFW you see your friends every night of the week and pretty sure you will have separation anxiety next week!

Say you have $1mm in cash, is it plausible to put it all in a HYSA and take the monthly interest payments as income at say 3% APY and then quit your job?

Theoretically*

Can we take leaves while serving NP?

Are you looking for a new job? Why?

Anyone work on the Sigma Watch/Stigma Watch (couldn’t quite hear the Recruiter) account at GroupM? I have a few questions while I’m in the interview process!

Pretty excited to get back to the hustle on Tuesday... this break was really nice and much needed but I'm feeling a little antsy to get moving again. I can't be the only one ?

Are you more likely to get hired as a creative team or as a single creative? 🤔

How do you handle remote teams being in different time zones? Right now we have a ton of team leaders on the west coast with the core team on the east coast and because of that urgent requests keep coming down after hours with the expectation to address it immediately. So at this point we’re working from 8am until like 11pm and nobody knows what to do to push back on it

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?

If your employer is looking for people in entry level creative or accounts, would you mind commenting the name?

Worst email accidentally sent to the wrong person? Yours or anecdotal...

What's agency in Chicago is doing decent work? Or is that a non sequitur

I am a strategist and have been told InTouch is a “strategy-driven” organization (which is unusual but would be amazing). But another poster just said it’s account driven (which is typical). What’s your experience and how do you know?

So looks like Verizon is really beefing up their new in-house agency. About 30 openings right now in NYC. Maybe? 🤔

What do you do when you have down time at work?

"That's what I do: drink and know things" - Tyrion Lannister and every agency creative ever

Why do all the Creatives I've come across give the rest of the agency such attitude? Get off your high horses please.

How’s the job market?

Newbie on the block wanted to ask how long the hiring process usually takes (for a junior or intern)?

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.
