I am advertising adjacent, think strategy, and research. Came into a new role with very little process onboarding. Just here is the project kick-off deck, go.

Very little direction, no real templates, or walk through of the wide variety of reports that are design heavy and dense to a fault. I tried this approach, but once I showed a wip, they wanted something very different.

Also, there is no direction on project management, am I serting the schedule, is someone else?

Is this common?

Completely normal. The workflow is usually “run with it” followed by “not like that.”

Hey FishBowl Friends, so I’m currently trying to break into tech sales/FinTech and I feel that due to my previous work history, I might not look like the ideal candidate on paper but I’m an extremely fast learner and very coachable. I’ve been a manger at a gym, got my degree in finance, worked as a client advisor at a top 3 auto dealer in the nation and now I’m a project manager at a solar company. I really want something that’s remote and steady, any recommendations on how to spruce myself up?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
