Hi all! Junior here - who would be the best person to contact for portfolio reviews / hires for placements and junior positions? (For instance, Creative Director / Associate / Recruitment Managers)😊

P.S sorry if that’s a dumb question, I’ve just started and honestly don’t know 😔

First of all, never apologise for asking a question! When you’re a junior, you should want to learn, so you’re off to a good start. 😊

I’d recommend reaching out to CDs or seniors directly either on LinkedIn or email, and asking them if they have some time to spare for a portfolio review - just make sure it’s a considered note, and not a copy and paste job. Some will say no, or just ignore you, but that’s ok, because some will say yes.

You can also put out a request here on fb if you don’t mind blowing your cover.

Good luck!

Sure! That’s some really great advice here!
Thank you - will try all that! 😊

I got offered a retention bonus with a clawback of 2 years at 20k. I don’t think that’s worthwhile at the manager level given the job market being an employees market.

I was going to use this opportunity to renegotiate for many things like early promotion and a salary increase.

Does anyone have tips/suggestions for other things to negotiate for?
