Oh, that's awesome! Congratulations to them. Do you happen to know how many applications they sent out? I have been job hunting for a little over two months and have only had one call so far. It's hard to stay motivated, but positive posts like this are a good help.

I hope you find something soon!!!

That's great to hear! Congrats to your friend! I think the only thing that really works in this environment is to be totally persistent. I'm glad to hear it worked out for someone. I hope it means that things are turning around at last. It's great to hear someone else's good news!

I am hoping so too! Good luck if you are looking!

Congratulations to your friend! I am in a similar situation, I just got hired on after about five months of looking. I was employed before I found the job so it wasn't dire or anything like that, but I'm excited to get out of my current situation and into something better.

Yay!!! So happy

That's fantastic! They must be so relieved after spending so long out of work. I don't have any major successes to report on right now, although I did just land a freelance client for 5 hours of work per week. It's not much, but I need the extra money and it's a fun project, so I'm excited!

Sooo happy for them! I am glad you are getting freelance work, that is rewarding!

The station I work at is down at least 15 positions. Some jobs have been open for two years.

The remaining staff is required to step up.

Additional positions are opening up as contracts are either broken or expire.

How are people able to keep their mental health up when their station isn’t hiring people they need and refuse to pay living wages to potential prospects or promote those remaining?

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.

I have worked in marketing for about 6-7 years. First few years were in social media management. My goal is to work at a big tech company.

I’ve heard mixed results about the ROI of earning an MBA. My near future goal is to move into a Marketing Director (or senior manager) role.

1) How much does Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. value MBAs in the hiring process?

2) Anyone currently working at the companies above with only a BBA?

Current situation: Marketing Manager, 90k, NYC.

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?
