In a fit of rage and frustration I bought the domain theghostedcreative.com as part of a personal project to upload all the rejection letters, and screenshots (with personal info redacted) of emails from all the people who ghosted me…then I gave up due to the overwhelming depression. 😅

Side hustle what are you smoking? The point of this wasn’t to make money or even get any recruiters that ghosted me to contact me. It was to highlight just how epidemic the ghosting culture is even to someone at my level. I didn’t go through with it hence the non-existing website, due to the fact that when going through all the ghost emails I basically was like fuck it not even worth the negative energy.

I’m sorry your job search has been hard. I just think we all have to let go of the idea that ghosting is a personal offense rather than a reality of the business. You’re an ECD, I’m sure you’ve been overwhelmed during recruiting and still taken the time to say goodbye to every candidate you ever spoke with, but not everyone is like that. Just don’t take it to heart.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

So my question is now, does SAC have an in built excel option which would allow users to enter root causes across materials and then SAC refresh this
