Welcome to the club, my friend. I’ve been contacting my network and emailing recruiters, even with solid recommendations, but nothing has come of it. I’ve only had two interviews since December and haven't heard back from them either.

Sorry to hear that, I’m rooting for us

500 applications, 2 interviews, 10 years experience and i have the 5+ magic number of years in an agency everyone wants. So basically the job market is horrible, competition is fierce, and I truly believe these new grads must be undercutting themselves and getting paid pennies, making it harder for the experienced people to get jobs with the pay we deserve.

The sassiness is not needed grumpy ACD. Felt a little push in the right direction this fall so was optimistic, but so far this new year it’s ice cold again. Was getting a temp check from my fellow ad folk.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

What do hiring managers want to hear when they ask "What's your process?" because I don't think I have one.

And when I explain something from Lean UX or something then apparently that's too cookie cutter.

Looking for opinions. I’m an IW with 2 yrs experience working from home at a Fortune 500 company w/ excellent benefits, target salary 75k.

Most people make much more than this once their comp fully ramps up, but, I would have to work in the office. I declined the offer, but now the CEO wants to meet with me several months later.
