I have been looking for a job for almost a year, and I am getting to the point that I consider any job. Outside advertising jobs are also difficult to find. With that said, there are many junior to mid-level openings, and with 15+ years, I overqualify for those positions. I would happily stay in advertising and take a major pay cut. Would you hire a senior for a mid-level position? Should I apply to mid-level jobs? I appreciate any advice!

That’s the rub. I think you can get freelance that way. But when I comes to full time, most places fear hiring someone over qualified with the assumption they’ll find something better and leave before too long.

I can’t. My first job was at an agency, where I worked for 8 years and created some great campaigns. Those campaigns consistently got me jobs throughout the years, and they are relevant even now. I can’t shave it off my book because the rest of my work is not up to the same level!

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.

Hi team. I received my offer from Amazon and signed my contract a few weeks ago. I also resigned from my current company after agreeing on a starting date mid-January. Seeing the news of the hiring freeze worries me though - do we know if this applies to roles where offers have been extended? Could they retract an offer after I signed a contract? Not sure what are my rights. Let me know if you have any tips/knowledge to share!
