I feel like freelance work is not taken seriously. Am I right about that? I've led some great projects for companies on a contract basis, but it doesn't seem to be enough to land an interview. How can I package my freelance projects on my resume/LinkedIn so they don’t look 'flaky' or unserious?

Freelance is taken seriously when it’s framed well. Group it as one role, name the impact, outcomes, and clients, and show continuity. When the work reads like delivered results instead of short stints, it carries real weight.

Give your company a name … agency or consultancy, show that you have customers, clients, outcomes, show examples, create and link to a web page. Give yourself a humble title (not CEO). Maybe creative director or strategy principal. Just some ideas. Good luck.

Agreed with earlier comment - make a website and show your work. Be a consultant not just freelance

Does it look bad in my resume to resign after less than a year at a job? writing here the time I’ve spent at each company since graduating college:

- went back to company 1 (it had grown exponentially after 2 years so came back at higher position) (resigned after 1 year to join a startup at director level)

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit.

My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

When you recruiters say at the end of a 15 min call.
“I will get back to you by the end of this week” does that really mean “your not right for this position”? Because this whole thing is a waste of time. I’ve did these calls with 3 recruiters and is yet to hear back from someone. Today would be the 4th recruiter that I’ve spoken to. Does this practice annoy you guys just as much as it does us? My dream career is to be a technical recruiter but this whole thing is discouraging.
