How inappropriate is it to ask to reschedule an interview? I am struggling rn because my current company keeps on rescheduling meetings right when I have blocks for interviews at the very last minute. I once asked to reschedule day of because of this and ended up missing out on the job. I feel like I’m held hostage by these last minute meetings from my company and want to leave but idk how to do it if they keep on scheduling over the interviews I have!!

You need to set boundaries with your company and stick to it for the interview. You can get creative and say you have something already like a doctor appointment you cannot change (there are things like day of cancellation fees with doctors and such). Block the hour or whatever is needed for time to leave for the interview, conduct the interview, return for the interview. You also need to be smart about the times you provide to the HR recruiter for interviews. I recommend either the first hour of the day, the lunch hour, or the last hour of the day. Also, you need to be smart about how you communicate to the HR recruiter about why you need to reschedule. The reason cannot be because a last minute meeting came up. That shows you are not planning properly with work, which doesn't look like a good attribute to a recruiter. If it truly is urgent like a health issue or something like that then that's very different. Plan and stick to the plan. Have a back up plan.

I got an offer at Meta as a 3-mo contingent CSM that pays 2x what I make now.

Two pros: 1) Making the jump from a non-tech agency role to FAANG can be tough, so this is a great oppo in that aspect.
2) I'm living in SF on a non-tech salary, so the pay increase would be incredible.

It’s possible I could move into a similar role @ Meta once this expires, but to be safe, I'd need to start the job hunt again asap.

Thoughts on the pivot & how valuable a short-stint at Meta is for future job hunt?

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
