I've now had 3 recruiters and 2 ECDs reach out to me out of the blue and said, "Wow...I haven't seen a book with good headlines and concepts in like...forever". (Their words, not mine, but I'll take the compliment). This made me wonder if what used to make us all the same now makes us that rare unicorn that people may want to hire? Or am I kidding myself? Reason I ask is I've had numerous fellow CDs say that the kids these days just don't have those skills. But I do and will work for cheap.

Don’t work for too cheap! You don’t need to undervalue yourself.

With AI, more of the work is going to start being very similar. Both visually and the writing. Eventually if a brand wants to stand out, they will have to zig when everyone zags.

Update: The agency that used zig/zag as their mantra stopped zigging though.

Yes!

This ray of hope. Pendulums always swing and, just maybe, one the collateral aspects of AI is people getting more aware of the difference between gruel and gold.

Show your book here or it didn’t happen.

I can DM it to you if you like. Not sure how to even post it publicly on here. Nor would I. I’ve got no reason to subject myself to a peanut gallery.

I’m looking for some advice and/or to vent a little. I’ve been looking for a sales job specifically to pivot into tech sales and I’m getting rejected non stop and it’s really starting to weigh on me and ruin my confidence.

The positives are, I’m actually getting interviews- about 5 so far, I get to the later/last rounds but can’t seem to close the deal. I’ve tried learning from each experience, and taking that as growth for the next interview but it hasn’t worked.
I have 7yrs total sales exp.

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?
