Is there such a thing as the "advertising blacklist" of people not to hire? Is it a small group of recruiters who know each other real well? Or is it an Illuminati level secret?

I would like to think that if they did, this industry would have less assholes but... I guess not.

It's really a small industry and word of mouth travels fast. Also. Once you got GCD level you get a secret link from AdAge thant ranks every creative.

The last part is obviously sarcastic. Also recruiters do keep a mental list of do not hires when they’ve had bad experiences.

If you get let go from a network shop, you're put on the entire network's do not hire list.

Let go or fired. Layoffs dont put you on the do not hire list.

General question about LinkedIn, but I figured recruiters may have a better perspective.

Is it really beneficial to have a LinkedIn premium account over the regular free account? I’m currently looking for opportunities and wondering if it really will make a difference to pay the price and subscribe to the premium account.
Can anyone recommend if, and how it will, or will not help?

Alternatively, would love to be able to "spin" my resume to help fill in the gaps that this lack of experience leaves.
