I once got a freelance gig because the ECD loved my book that was sent to him via my copy partner, who happened to know the ECD. I did a search through my email, and found that I was rejected not once, but twice by that agency’s recruiters. It turned out they never even sent my book to the ECD.

So yeah, keep on applying, or I would just try to contact someone directly at the agency.

It happens ALL the time. Some little 22 year old HR ‘assistant’ weeds through applications and rejects at whim. I know this because I was once a 22 year old HR ‘assistant.’ (Temp job, years ago). This sh*t is real. Bypass the HR people. Go straight to the top dog. Email the ECD directly. Tell them exactly why they need YOU specifically and how you can make their world better. Good luck!

Try reaching out to HR on LinkedIn. It’ll help you stand out and maybe somebody in your network can help as well.

I have done this in the past and it has worked in my favor. What I have learned is that sometimes an agency needs more than one person for a position, and larger agencies have multiple recruiters recruiting. I would apply again. You never know if you land in another recruiter’s lap. I also recommend reaching out to HR on Linkedin. It has helped me get interviews in the past.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice?

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?
