Depends on the work. I regularly clear my inbox sitting the couch while half watching Bravo shows with my wife most nights. If I have an important deliverable I try to focus by forcing myself to work from my home office and I listen a single music track instrumental (no lyrics) on repeat until I’m done.

Love a good bravo show!

I give myself a little treat to deal with the fact that I have to do things I don't like. Most of my life is spent rewarding myself with little treats 😆

Great idea ✨

Do you work from home? I'm near a local park that has free wifi, so I'll go there to work on nice days. It makes a big difference to be in a place I enjoy even if I'm stuck doing something I don't 😂

Oooh a cafe or park is a great idea

I don't like working weekends either. I tell myself "its just X number of hours, I can get through it. I also get some sort of treat and that sort of helps.

Self pep talks!

What treats are we getting?

Hahah YES

Oh, lol! I always do some work over the weekends… I’m not sure if that’s sad, obsessive, or just what’s expected in this industry?… it’s probably sad I know.

Take a vacation!

Had a first round interview scheduled for a large CPG brand. My interviewer never called me, and I emailed following up to confirm the call. It’s been over a day and no response. What is going on with recruiters? I tried giving them the benefit of the doubt, but not even an email back saying “something came up” or “we’ve moved on” ? I’ve been ghosted after every final interview during my recent job search, but never had I been ghosted before even having the first call??

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
