How do you get pass the recruiters to the hiring CD/ECD? In most of my experiences recruiters don’t understand my work and I don’t fit their check box, but CD/ECD (creatives) love my work. ..

1) post your book in the Book Review bowl. It may confirm that creatives love your work or it may show there are things you can do to improve your book (or both), but your work will be seen.

2) reach out directly to creative directors that you like. Assuming you are an art director, but I do want to call out that you have seven or eight typos that I counted. When you email CDs (or recruiters, or anyone) double and triple check your writing.

My problem is I don’t have Top agency and major client in my book so I don’t fit in to recruiters check list. If no one give me a chance to break that cycle how can I get in to top agencies. Specially being senior level. I don’t mind start as mid level...got stock. Any advice or help greatly appreciate.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
