Hi Verizon Fishes,

Need your feedback on Verizon India Job security, I will be joining soon in Verizon. I got some negative feedback from social media that Verizon fired around 1000 employees without notice. It should have happened on 2019.

Can you pls share your thoughts on this?

Thanks,

What do you think is the best site to make your book on as a copywriter?

POV: you're an AD* looking for a copy (me) to build our portfolio together and work in... London?

DM:
1) if your seniority is mid/senior or you won an award (Lions, D&AD, One Show..)
2) 3 fav Cannes Lions 2022 campaigns*
3) 3 creatives you love
We create 3 campaigns before XMas and maybe in 2023 we'll start dream big!
Let's make 3 our magic number

* I ask just because if your work is focused on editorial design, that is a different field. I wish you like strategic thinking. Thank you, bye!

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”

Can you put spec work in your book?

As a liberal arts student, I’ve been piecing together how to create a killer portfolio but am at a point where I need some personal feedback. Would anyone be willing to look my portfolio over and provide advice on how to improve it? Thank you!

So I know this will sound crazy ... but I've never really had to have a portfolio, in the conventional sense, but a current offer is asking for one. What's the best way to build one out? Thanks!

So here's the deal: I've been in the industry for 8 years now—and I still feel my best work is my spec work. Is there a point at which it's simply no longer appropriate to show spec work in a book?

Too chicken to post my book here- anyone know of good outlets to use for book reviews?

How do you balance your best work vs recent work in your portfolio? My best campaign is 4 years old, but it’s still my favourite piece. Note: I would love to get your thoughts on how to reorder my book if anyone can help! Let me know if can DM you my site.

Q: I’m reworking/updating my books— how are you going to include toolkit for other markets in your book? (Want to sell my contribution For concept and art direction+design in collaterals)

Hey would anybody mind looking at book to tell me why I’m unhirable so I can further justify quitting? Please DM me.
