I am digital strategist with 7+ years of experience and co-own a bar/restaurant. I left agency life 2 years ago to launch another location that didn’t open. When interviewing people focus on the bar?

I didn’t have a chance to finish typing the rest. But I want to continue in agency life. But I feel I am being offered more junior positions instead of positions with 7+ years of experience! How can I better refocus on my agency skill set?

Focus on entrepreneurship unless seeking a position specifically working on HRM accounts.

Theoretically you should be able to spin that to show that you can handle long-term projects with many moving pieces and also know when to pull the plug on things. That said, I might not delve too much into the other income sources because that will become a point of contention in office politics.

Hello! I see a ton of questions in here about interviewing and getting hired as a PM. I also know that it’s really hard as a manager to hire a great team. I’m the head of product at a growing startup, and just hired two PMs in 3 months. One a career switcher who’d never been a PM before, and one a seasoned principal PM. Whether you are someone who’s interviewing or someone who’s hiring right now, ask me anything!

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

I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.
