I feel like your LinkedIn presence is beginning to outweigh the quality of your book. And I don’t like it.

This would be inevitable in a world where appearances have eclipsed substance and the real opportunity to do great work has been reduced to a navel-gazing sideshow.

Interesting observation. Though I’ve noticed through analytics that people rarely dive deep in your book. So maybe it’s LinkedIn for the win!

It’s true. It feels like the emphasis is more on thought leadership, social media presence, identity, and agency/client/category experience than on quality and craftsmanship these days. And it’s also important to have a long list of awards for work that never really ran.

Hi,

Any idea what the next step is? I've applied to multiple jobs and can't seem to get an email as they say in this screenshot.

Or could anybody refer me to job id : 292647, that would be really helpful and appreciated.

Thanks

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally. They have limited quota every year, and are very choosy when it comes to allocation. Preference is first given to EU nationals and then Asians during shortlist stage.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

Just started in-house and my days are full of meetings with little time in between to analyze or process anything. Is this typical? I keep taking lots of notes but haven’t had a chance to really review and reflect on my notes, to follow up and investigate or do any strategic or legal analysis. Lots of on the fly work for now. Maybe it’s like this just the first few days where I’m getting the lay of the land? But I suspect it’ll be like this for a while… Any tips appreciated.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
