The probability of getting the job is infinitely higher if you do apply than if you don't. Just sayin'.

I've gotten offers solely through applying through the website, but it almost always works better to be recommended and have your resume delivered directly to the hiring manager.

I've never even got a call back from an online application; all my jobs I've got exclusively through networking.

I recommend applying online then following up with the recruiter. Can usually find the recruiter on the LinkedIn job posting or just by searching on LinkedIn for a few of their recruiters and emailing one per day

I've also gotten offers and interviews from cold applications.

Yeah, I guess it's worthwhile. I guess it's just a numbers game, which sounds exhausting.

Every job/interview I ever got was through online applications. Networking doesn't work well for me for some reason even if people submit my resume I never hear even for an interview.

Anyone have experience waiting on an offer while having received another within 1 org? I have been interning for 5 months. My manager has been extending me as I expressed I didn’t want my current role but need the job.

She has been extremely open to assisting me in finding other roles internally. Recently, I expressed a desire to stay on the team as a “full time.” The day before I got the offer I was invited to interview for another role. I will take the other offer if extended. What now?

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

Hi, this is mostly a question for account management and strategists. I’ve been in advertising for a while, and am back in this market after working in others. The main thing I’m noticing that is driving me bonkers is the lack of client talent here. Across the portfolio I oversee it is very rare to get a client that understands how to brief an agency partner (creative or media or pr); there is limited capacity to really focus on objectives other than tactical KPIs.
Is this common/any advice?
