Hi guys - seeking advice on how to stand out when applying for an Account Manager/Digital Strategist role at Google. Eager to move on from PR/advertising agency world and enter Tech. Currently have 5 years in agency experience (same company after leaving university). Have applied via traditional channels (LinkedIn) and no luck after reviewing my resume multiple times with Google’s recommendations and having someone senior at a competing Tech company review. Sydney Australia based too. Thank you!

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
