I have a contract AE who has inflated his title on LinkedIn and his resume (Account Director) while applying for new jobs. Found out through backchannel contacts at a few agencies. Want to address it with him but also feel I should leave it alone so he can get out of my firm. I’m now wondering if he inflated his resume for me.

I think everyone is trying to do what they can in these trying times and you shouldn’t see yourself as above their behavior so much therefore…. you should mind your business

This is none of your business, please stay in your own lane and stop trying to sabotage someone from getting a job in a terrible economy.

Karma is real.

Who cares? If they get hired and they’re not capable then it’s not your problem. Also, most companies do some kind of background check to confirm title and employment, so they could be screwed no matter what.

Contract is not full time and it sounds like you’ll be happy if he moved on anyway - so why would you address it?

Let it go. We all have to hustle a bit. If they fail they fail on their own. Move on.

No need to address him, his true colors will show (depending on how inflated his resume is)

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?

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?
