I got a phone call (!!) from a recruiter today looking to fill copy supervisor roles. I said no thanks; I’m happy where I am now.

The person claimed s/he got my phone number from LinkedIn. But my number isn’t listed on my profile.

Emails or DMs are standard. But are recruiters cold calling now?!

Oh my… a phone call! Wouldn’t it be better if you felt thankful, even grateful, that your work and experience inspired someone to reach out to you?

There are several lead generation companies that have your phone number. One called me on my personal (not my work number) and when prompted, told me that it was listed as my "work phone."

In the past, recruiters have contacted me through my work phone/emails, despite not having those listed and having email on my LinkedIn profile

If you are uncomfortable, I would search for those lead programs and request removal of your phone or other contact info

smart

Is it on your CV?

Med Writer 1: Didn’t know that! But the person shouldn’t have lied about how my number was obtained. That’s what freaks me out about the encounter the most.

I don't talk to the ones that call me out of the blue, but it's pretty frequent now. I get called maybe twice a week from recruiters. I think it's so rude- I'm AT work! Like why is it so hard to message me so we can set up a time to talk when I'm able to.

My phone number isn't on my website (or my resume that's up on my website) so idk how they keep getting it

Hi everyone! I’d like to create a simple graphic of our HR operational calendar for my client group. A visually appealing infographic that outlines our annual talent cycles (talent planning, performance reviews, promotion nominations, merit, etc) so leadership always knows what’s coming and can better prepare and strategize. Any ideas on how I can best visually represent this? Any tools, programs or templates you recommend? Thanks!

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
