Looking to change companies & feel I can bring value to a smaller agency that doesn’t have my specialty. What’s the best way to go about pitching yourself to a company that has no open role/your role?

For me, I leaned on my skills that were in the role that was open (sr pm) and then showed my value as account. I “paid my dues” or wheat we but was working at a more strategic level so was recognised and promoted within 9 months to the role I wanted (that didn’t exist at the time). Would never work at a big agency but at the smaller ones you can often carve a path more easily once you get in the door.

Write. Show your thinking. Reach out and connect on LinkedIn. Tag folks. Join conversations from folks in the org. Try and land some face time for coffee or after work connect.

Good luck. 👍🏾

I've just recently been hired as an assistant manager at a Canadian outlet store. It's a small company in comparison to others, but there are over 10 locations spanning western Canada and NW united states. I'm curious as to what others in a similar position are getting as salary. I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?

Does it bother you when someone you care about won't let you treat them (like on special occasions such as birthdays and stuff)? I don't know why it's upsetting me so much, and I'm trying to figure out what the root of my issue is. I'm getting overly emotional about it. It makes me feel like I'm making it about me vs. them, which is not what I want to do at all. On the contrary, I want them to enjoy whatever I treat them to, but this is all backfiring because I can't control my emotions.
