I am applying for AD positions in Pharma after 13 mo. of Jr AD under my belt. My design portfolio is strong (digital and print), but my concepting work is lacking. Will this be a deal breaker?

I don’t expect Jrs to have a lot of concepting. But I would want to see that you have passion for the big idea. That usually comes out in interviews or personal work

Not for pharma. You’ll be fine with limited concepting experience

13 months feels a little short to make the jump? In total or in phama?

All in Pharma- had a 3 month internship with my agency (functioned as Jr AD) Considering staying at Jr level but thinking of applying to both?

At our agency (large shop) JADs seems to stay at least 3-5 years before going to the next level. Having gone through the prior levels as well. Learning the craft cannot be fast forwarded.

Not so much an interview tip question, but more a timeline question. Have applied for a role at Deloitte on July 11. The status of my application on the portal has since been updated to “shortlisted” on July 20. I haven’t heard anything about the status of my application other than the updates on the portal. When should I expect to get an update about next steps? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I’m also based in Melbourne, Australia.

732 applications the last 11 months that doesn’t include since the start of the pandemic looking for work. Out of that only 117 have been viewed that’s 6% viewed! the hiring process is completely broken, human resources, managers, and hiring managers are not capable! The same jobs open for 2 1/2 yrs reposting salaries after interviewing 100 then cutting the salary by up to $50k They say can’t find people but they fire you in 90 days when your working 80 hours a week or people are walking!

How do you go about not underselling yourself on a resume/interview while also not exaggerating your accomplishments? I have a lot of team/group experience but I think it would be an exaggeration to just say for example “formulated Omni-channel marketing plan targeting gen x consumer in consideration of a buy now pay later plan”. I had a role on a team and contributed, but I have heard recruiters are off put by stating you were part of a team effort since they don’t know your contribution to it.

I have a full time remote position and currently interviewing for another remote role that requires some travel for on-site visits (I'm ok with this). I feel like the other company will make me an offer and I'm stuck on what to do. It would be about a 20% increase but I'm sure it will be more stressful, given that it involves internal auditing. I'm not sure about leaving my current company because I was promoted to this role a few months ago but I need more money. Continued in comments

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
