Hi Recruiters,
Are there really no creative roles to fill? I see some positions with 100+ applicants being reposted all the time on LinkedIn…
I’ve been actively applying for full time and freelance for months, and I haven’t gotten much response. I’m starting to feel defeated

Recruiters rarely answer here. It’s a tight job market still. Lean on your connections. Applications alone won’t get the job done.

There are, just not as many as operational roles. The main reason is that a Creative Director has most likely built of network of people he/she would like to work with again, so they will start there first. This reiterates the reasoning behind staying in touch with your network no matter what!

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
