Hey, Fishies! We’re launching our first Interview/Q+A series "Portfolio Rewind: Would You Hire You?"
Like a portfolio review in reverse, creative leaders will share work they created when they first started out and critique it as if were a book that had just landed in their inbox. Then, tell us if they’d hire their younger selves knowing, and expecting, what they do now.
Drop in for get the chance to ask questions, and get your book reviewed by our guest. Hope you can make it!

Your opinion on VaynerMedia?
The ad industry is represented by less than 2% of self-identified LGBTQ individuals. We're asking our fellow LGBTQ peers who have already come out to work to share their stories and to describe how being out at work has benefitted them. Record your story and upload it to tinyurl.com/come-out-to-work Stories will be collected and shared on Instagram at @ComeOutToWork by mid-June. Happy Pride!

Do you really want to work somewhere that didn’t even have the decency to be transparent with you? I’d be careful with this place.
Very true! Thank you.
Like a bad relationship... never beg to be loved. Find someone that appreciates you, your time, and your value.
I love this! Haha. Thank you
If they really wanted you, they would have hired you already
You deserve better! Keep looking.
Usually a sign of not having their shit together internally. Possibly even restructuring or instability, which you don’t want to get caught up in.
If you really want to check in, do it without asking about the job directly. Send the hiring manager and/or recruiter an article about something related to the job/client/something you talked about when you last met. Make it friendly like you read this and it reminded you of xyz from your conversation and thought they’d find it interesting. Basically, start the conversation and see if they finish it. You won’t come off as desperate.
This is all weird advice. You don’t know what happened, so there’s no harm in checking in the status of the job. Totally sucks that you were ghosted, but it’s not always just because people are assholes. I got ghosted for a year then was hired at a much, much higher role. We both had time to grow.
Yes follow up. Don’t make any assumptions.
