I’ve got an interview tomorrow for a job I don’t want. Agency that doesn’t really do traditional creative. Is it worth being honest about them not being what I’m looking for?

Do you want a job? Are there more interviews coming? Can you suggest them hiring you as freelance?

Yeah see the stalling thing is where it gets tricky. I’ve seen enough work on their website to know I wouldn’t be doing anything I’d want to add to my book. So it would only be for the money.

It’s not that their work is bad necessarily, it’s just so far removed from what I’ve done/want to do. More digital marketing and brand app development and less creative ad work.

Just didn’t know if being honest about me looking for something different would be considered bad etiquette.

They reached out to me out of the blue. Not even sure of the details on the position but since I’m not working I can’t bring myself to at least not hear them out. Figured I’ll see if the pay is really good but I’m 95% sure I’ll end up wanting to pass.

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience. I am graduating this December with my BBA and am ready to leave the job I’m in now. I’ve been applying for a range of positions I qualify for and nothing so far, which I expected. I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅
