I had an interview last week in which I was asked when I would start and to keep in touch about the next steps. Followed up with the recruiter this morning and didn't get a response. Then later in the day, posted a similar role...feeling defeated.

I'm sorry that happened. Job hunting can be challenging. If you can let it go, there's a reason that it wasn't the right job for you. It just means the right position for your skill set is still ahead. Statistically speaking, a certain number of contacts or applications submitted eventually get you to the right person. Every "no" means there is a "yes" up ahead. That's how sales people look at the world. And right now, you are in sales. The product you are selling are your skills, service and work ethic. Your "YES!" is just a head. Go for it!

Their loss. It’s not worth feeling defeated. Something better will come along.

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!

Thanks in advance for sharing!
