Bowl Leader
Faced this weird behaviour from Optum recently. Gave interview for Data Scientist position. HR said feedback is positive. Asked for documents. It's been month now since I have shared the documents. I have no update on the offer. Today I called HR, she called me back saying the position is on hold due to recalibration in team, She has shared interview feedbacks to other teams and will get back to me in couple of days. I am clueless now. My last working day is approaching (In a month). Any Help??

Hello! My name is Love Malone and I have a number of positions. I’m not a recruiter nor am I a diversity leader. I’m a women of color who after years in the industry in both account and strategy at BBDO the Ogilvy I got tiered of people
Not being represented and even more exhausted of well meaning senior leaders on stage talking about it needed to change.
I started the Gradient Group which will launch early next year but We are already placing people as it is so needed!
Let’s be clear the traditional recruiter are placing people they think the agency/company needs. We do not work like that at all... the agency/company request an invite and pays a fee and can hire people from our community no middle women/man needed nor does the high requirement fee eat into your salary. We also will be having a number of networking opportunities coming up! That didn’t require thousands of dollars.
Keep in mind if going through a Recruiter they can get up to 25% of your 1st years salary the difference comes from somewhere.... whether it is discussed or not. I think the pay gap is already a big enough issue.
Message me and/or go to GradientGroup.com to put up you portfolio. Put up you latest work or the work you are most proud of.
Creative, strategy, account, media, PR welcome!
We have just opened up jobs from Ogilvy, BBDO, and Edelman. We also have some amazing opportunities with top brands one being a beauty brand we are announcing in a few weeks. Please feel free to reach out to me directly and/or go to GradientGroup.com

Bravo, mademoiselle, BRAVO! 👏
Quoting from this post which quotes another post - http://adaged.blogspot.com/2019/11/angry.html
It's a relevant read both inspiring and anger inducing at the same time.
In 2018, Kazuo Ishiguro, 64, won the Nobel Prize for Literature.
Lynn Nottage who is 54, won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
Heather Ann Thompson, 55, won the Pulitzer for History.
Poetry? Tyehimba Jess, age 53.
At the Oscars the four acting winners were:
Frances McDormand, 60.
Gary Oldman, 59.
Allison Janney, 58.
And Sam Rockwell, who turned 51 earlier this month.
Guillermo del Toro won Best Director. He’s 53.
In the world of TV, The Emmy for Best Drama Series went to The Handmaid's Tale. Margaret Atwood wrote the novel and is a creative consultant on the show. She’s 79.
They see my first year in the industry was in the 90s and they assume I’m too expensive or out of touch. I asked LinkedIn to let me delete years but they said it’s required. Ageism? Would be more fair to just click a box with number of years? I’d feel better about clicking 15+ than explicitly showing 24 years. Whatever. Rambling. Sorry. Just feeling so defeated.
The only people I have talked to that actually got jobs from LinkedIn were all juniors. Although some senior positions are posted, it seems to be extremely rare that those positions are filled from LinkedIn applications. Senior positions in advertising are still based on contacts.
The other thing is that youre probably applying for a certain level of job, with a certain salary. Ageism is a shorthand for all these clues, but keep in mind how competitive those jobs would be (because of all the people laid off and looking, plus the diversity thing thats kind of...zeigeisty right now, for lack of a better word).
My advice (along the lines of GECD above, with the desperation stuff) is to look for freelance jobs at these places, and let THEM see you doing a good job and offer you full time. They always reject the guy with the aggressively eager emails, and want the guy they cant have. So be the emotionally unavailable freelancer and see if that gets you in the door.
Please tell me you are going to trademark “emotionally unavailable freelancer.”
You might be right. But you probably know by this point in your career how people have very specific ideas in mind for what makes one person perfect and another almost perfect. There’s always reasons to not hire somebody; it could be ageism, or it could not be. With every resume you send out and job you apply for, you’re one step closer to finding the one that’s right for you. So keep at it and don’t be distracted by things you can’t control. Like the year you were born. Also, it’s not unheard of to go ahead and drop the first decade of work off your resume and LinkedIn.
Advertising creative was supposed to be a haven for us misfits and weirdos, but now all the cool kids have taken over and it's one giant reality show you get voted off of as soon as your Instagram likes fall below 50 per post.
The Ad Council should do an ageism campaign.
Presidential candidates running are in their 70s. Just remind folks that wisdom and experience come with age. They can hire young and make mistakes, or make wise hires that can groom the younger talent (their choice).
Same here. I was told recruiters are explicitly told to favor diversity so if your a white male as well as over 40 it's curtains.
Agreed, I was passed over for promotion by my agency. I fit the above demographic and was passed over by younger, less experienced and less educated co-workers. It sucks, because it’s so obvious, but so hard to prove.
Maybe reconsider the “aggressively” part? Maybe they can feel a desperation? I’m not trying to be an ass (I’m totally aggressive in my approach) but when I aggressively went for stuff with unknown people they could read through me and refuse me because they could. Better to get a job you love and then aggressively try to get what you want once inside.
You don’t have to put every job on LinkedIn. Just list jobs from the last 15 years. Don’t put your school graduation year either.
82% of jobs are source and most are already placed but by law need to be posted.
LinkedIn with people and ask them to refer you. Many agencies give an amazing referal fee for placements!
Love Malone
Have you had someone look over your resume?
Which discipline are you looking for a job in?
Strategic planning
OP you are not alone. I am going through the same. As others suggested, it’s ok to remove some older jobs that go to far into the 90s. If there are particular brands you worked on early on in your career that are relevant, you can list them at the bottom of your resume as Additional Brand Expertise. Remain humble, patient and keep applying and networking. I’ve heard people looking for years who finally get a dream job because they never gave up. Good luck!
