In 2022, I graduated a major university with a masters degree in cybersecurity. This built on my bachelor's degree in computer science with dual concentrations in networking and cybersecurity that I earned in 2019. This on top of over 30 years in IT, working a range of positions. WHY does a master's degree seem worthless at this point? WHY do hiring managers INSIST on picayune certifications as their hiring criteria? Clearly I am very frustrated, but I would appreciate input.

Alright gents, quick opinion how valuable is a WMCP & Chfc designation

Are their recruiters that specialize in placing CD level creatives in Creative Director roles at cool brands? Brands like DWR, Casper, Aesop, SweetGreen. Tired of surfing LinkedIn, Indeed etc. Help!

I had two recruiters today reschedule a meeting. And this is the second time rescheduling. Honesty, not sure what value recruiters bring. Is this common now? Is it hard to have respect for people’s time and their schedule? Reschedule once I can understand. But twice is just stupidity. I hope AI wipes out all bad recruiters who don’t give af. Sorry for the vent. Maybe it’s just my bad luck then.
