If with another company try a structure like “Thank you so much for your interest/the time you have invested with me in the process so far. I’ve given this a great deal of thought and would respectfully like to remove my name as a candidate from further consideration. Here’s why ...” in your own words.

You’re right TBWA 1, that’s better

Grab coffee with your supervisor and let them know. And while you’re there, maybe chat about what you want for yourself and your future at the agency — with or without said title.

I just did that. I thanked them but explained that, upon their writing assessment, I determined that their content type doesn’t drive my passion and I would burn out quickly. That I respected them and their budget too much to get hired and then leave them. Etc. They responded very well to it.

Where was yours? Maybe we should trade LOL

Do what they would do 👻

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?

It’s so nice that every agency laying off people, have those left standing (and other agencies) trying to hustle jobs for their unemployed friends, but there are also a ton of people who were unemployed prior to Covid...so no severance, job hunting lot longer, and not earning income for longer time...hurting even MORE due to quarantine.
