Just started a new job and a person in the team with an equal position is clueless and keep asking me ideas about the project that she’s managing and taking crazy notes of my ideas. What should I do?

Don’t worry about getting credit for everything. Building relationships (if you’re serious) means letting go of your ego a bit.

To make sure that I am a team player and build relationship with that person by helping but also gain credits on my ideas?

Worry less about credit, and more about being cool and good person to the people you work with. If it’s taking away from time you need on your own stuff, say so. But don’t be a dick and not help because you feel like she’s clueless. She might be in a position to help you someday, covering on a project when you’re overwhelmed, or maybe the next time you’re up for promotion and someone asks her what she thinks of you she’ll say nice things. You never know.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
