Looking to connect with a recruiter (or anyone) that’s familiar with strategist / brand manager roles. I feel a bit lost and hoping for some advice on job search and feedback on my resume

Instead of focusing on connecting with a recruiter, connect with people who are in the types of roles you want to be in. Talk to them about their career path, what they do on a daily basis, what skills they look for, etc. and that should give you a better idea of what your resume needs to look like. Recruiters can help somewhat, but you’re better off talking to people who have actually done the job you want to do. There’s a Strategy bowl, that’s a good place to start.

Got a phone call 5 minutes later from the rep, who said I could have a Date/Cyclops sub that was hidden in the back, since I obviously wasn’t trying to re-sell. Passed on it. Been passionate about this model for a minute. Happy hunting :)

I have received an offer from Deloitte for ‘Project Delivery Senior Anlyst’ position on some technology preferred provider program. It is hire in advance , that means I should get project ‘after joining’.

I have heard PDM is like contract worker, you can get laid off once project ends(just 2 weeks bench). How true is that/how risky it is to join PDM?(considering I am in US on H1B)
2 . How much time it takes to get first project?
I am confused because it’s really better salary than what I make.

Additional Posts in Ask A Recruiter - Advertising

Hi all,
To my talent acquisition professionals. Aside from LinkedIn recruiter and Cord what other platforms do you use for tech sourcing?

Excluding agencies like W+K, BBDO, Droga..., why do recruiters and CDs ask questions like “what’s your goal as a human in life?” or “how would you change the world?” when they KNOW they just need an average creative, to make more average campaigns for average clients?

Interview question: had a great interview with the cmo of a brand I’m really excited about for an ECD role.

I’m currently still full time at an agency working insane hours (hence the desire to escape).anyone know the play here? Do I STFU and figure out how to get it done? Can I push back? HLP!

I have my first interview tomorrow for a new job - I’m currently still at the agency I got my first job at (it’s been 2 years & I’ve had 1 promotion, for reference). My question is - can they ask me how much I’m currently making? If so, can I lie? Can they ask for proof? I’m grossly underpaid right now (way below average and even below minimum for my role) so I’ll be asking for a hefty increase, but don’t want them to know just HOW hefty, because I feel like it’ll put me at a disadvantage.
