I recently applied for a role on LinkedIn. They downloaded my resume and sent me a message saying they were impressed by my resume, and mentioned they would “send my resume to the person in charge and keep an eye out for a message via WhatsApp”. That seems odd to me. Do any companies ever reach out via WhatsApp?? Sounds scammy

all this, and for anyone else, don’t forget skype isn’t real anymore.

yup 💯

They generally reach out via the contact information you’ve provided. But there are lots of fake ads and scammers on LI, so your caution isn’t unwarranted.

Yup. Big time. Fake job postings as well as fake recruiters.

What country are you in? If in the U.S., it’s very uncommon for companies to communicate via WhatsApp and I’d be very weary of scams. Don’t give them any personal info.

Oh, and yes, US based…

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?

I’m a bit rough around the edges and I think this is severely hindering my abililty to connect with people in my department and civilians. What are some good ways to break out of this and develop my people skills?

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.

A couple of ppl in my previous agency, saw a competitor acct try a very interesting idea that we thought was cool — but their execution was super localized, in europe, and was not even done to its fullest potential. So, they didnt get ANY press (just like two articles from random websites). Fast forward and Im at another agency, thinking that now more than ever, that idea could be done better. Is it fair game?
