There won’t be any more jobs or surges for a while now. If you’re out of one get used to it or switch careers but truthfully no knowledge work is safe

This has been my experience:
Q4 is good to freelancers (usually) because companies want to spend the last of their budgets so they can request the same or more next year from their bosses.

Q4 is terrible for full-time hires because many businesses are still figuring out next year’s forecast. Even if a recruiter doesn’t ghost, the process drags out until the new year.

Im asking because I only seem to get some attention from recruiters/hiring managers between September and early November, but once I send over my resume to them, they go ghost

More like a job purge. It’s bleak, Target, Amazon, UPS, some massive cuts. I haven’t been this apprehensive in some time and our agency is doing well.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
