Hi all,

Wondering if anyone here has experience in applying for jobs in the UK from the States. Recently found out I'm a British citizen by descent (lived in the US my whole life but have a British-born parent), so provided my passport works out, visas aren't an issue. What do UK-based companies look for in a CV? Are there recruiters worth contacting? Are there cities outside London with a growing digital scene?

I have a family to support, so hope to avoid starting from scratch.

Thanks!

In the current lateral market what is the usual time for hearing a decision after a final round of interviews? For context, final round went really well, it’s not even been a week yet, they thought I was a great fit etc, said they’re expanding and looking to hire someone ASAP. Just wanted to know what others’ experiences have been like.

Can we say that we already have an offer in the other company interviews?

Is there a professional/respectful way to decline a take home case study that doesn't automatically disqualify you from the candidate pool?

Hi Sharks,

I am done with the L1 round this Monday (26th Sep) and got a response next day over email with the Subject line "Interview Feedback for L1 Interview", in the email it was mentioned that we will get in touch with you shortly.

How much time will it take any ideas?

Anyone in the consulting industry willing to do an informational interview? I have 2 years of industry experience in corporate operations

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Hi Everyone, my YOE is 14 on VMware Products as an Administrative/Consultant/Architect...i have created an Express Entry profile for Canada , still no luck with interviews via Job Bank , LinkedIn and Indeed. I have opted to pay a VISA services firm for marketing my resume and apply for me. Was this a good option ?

I’m a newly graduate from a community college. My program of study was Health Information Technician. I passed my RHIT exam a month ago, and I’ve been applying to jobs in state, out of state, and remotely to only receive “sorry you were not selected email.”I don’t have experience and I know that’s the reason I’m not getting selected. I’ve applied for receptionist, medical biller/coordinator, and medical clerk. Even with inflation willing to work for minimum wage or less just to gain experience.

I have my second round PgM interview coming up. Would appreciate if you could please share some resources for interview preparation! TIA

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?

Is it a norm to send a thank you note through your recruiter? I had an iffy interview, and wondering if I bother sending a thank you note. It was very clear that they were trying to do a stress interview so I feel weird saying the usual nice things.

What is the tipping etiquette on the free platinum breakfast in a JW Marriott? The server just gets coffee / orange juice and you serve yourself. It is an overpriced buffet that I would never dine in.

Any copywriters (in branding/otherwise) currently report to a strategist instead of a CD? Trying to have an open mind about them approving copy without judgement but it’s like pulling teeth for me.

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.

What about using 3 one-word sentences as a slogan? I feel like it’s super played out, but I get suggestions for it all the time. Can’t we do better than mashing together words from the crestive brief?

Conceptually, is it typical for copywriters to bring far more ideas to the table than their AD partner?

I’m a copywriter and I’m shite at writing cover letters, which makes me feel like a fraud. Any other writers feel this way? Any advice?

Jumping off a related topic: am I delusional to not care about jr/int/sr level titles? I've been a "copywriter" since the day I started and steadily gained responsibility, autonomy, and money. Happy with career progression, always getting juicier assignments, work directly with ECDs/CCOs... am I missing something crucial? Is my case an anomaly? Or is it okay not to push for a title upgrade?

When non-ad ppl ask you what do you do? In terms of title; do you tell them “copywriter”? Or immediately assume they dont know and might confuse it with copyright infringement, and just end up telling them that you’re a writer or a creative director, and skip the hassle

I’m overdue for a raise. On average, what percentage increase should I ask for?

If you are approached for copy position with a company called LadyBoss... RUN! I don’t know racket they’re running but they set up a video conf with a bunch of copywriters interviewing simultaneously.

So, you’ve reached the stage of your career where you care more about cashing a fat paycheck than making “creative ads”. You’d rather have the resources and free time to fulfill your creative itch outside of work than try to sell the next big idea to an 28 year old marketing manager with an annual budget of 150k. How do you make the absolute most money as a copywriter while still working a 9-5? Asking for... a... friend?

Any tips on ramping up on tone and voice for writers?

Thoughts about going back and forth between agency and in-house? Is it a good/bad idea? Is it even possible?

Is it better to be at a small shop and crank out work for smaller clients in your first year or be at a big name shop and maybe make nothing? Deciding on an offer...

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
