OP, has the better opportunity actually sent a contract your way or are you just starting to talk to them?? Don't cancel the one you've secured until the new/better one is real.

Break it to the recruiter that I no longer interested in the position. Paperwork has been sent but I haven't signed it.

I’m available too 😉

You guys in LA?

Yes!

@Ira really gorgeous work

@ira wow that's great work. I doubt the agency will relocate because they didn't want to pay my day rate.

Can't DM.. so :D thank you ❤️

Be honest. Even Abe knew that. For if people cannot deal with honesty do you want to hold court with them?

Congrats OP!

@ira, I’m a fan, too.

Thanks so much!
Congrats OP!🔥

My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
