May have dodged a bullet.

Got recruited by a head hunter for a big salaried CD agency position. I fit Job description. Head hunter sent 6 candidates (including me); in her opinion she thought all 6 were shoe-ins for interviews. All had stellar resumes, portfolios, and matched job description. Agency declined all candidates, “because none big agency/brand experience...” Head hunter was shocked that ALL high quality candidates were passed on.

This a normal thing or possibly a difficult agency?

Can anybody please suggest me how to get an offer letter and how to apply for jobs in Australia while residing in India? I am looking for a job in Australia. Currently working in a big4 company.

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Anyone ever hire a promising creative into their group only to have them rage quit a month later and torch teammates & managers on their way out? I lead a UX group. Gave 0 indications. Background checks were clean. Had this happen only once before—a humble, hard-working Jekyll reveals himself to be a self-important, arrogant, belligerent Hyde. Anyone else?

A branding question. If FIFA stopped calling it the Women’s World Cup, would more of the world start treating it with as much reverence as the men’s World Cup, which is just called The FIFA World Cup?

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!

I’m an in-house designer. My company decided to offer social media marketing packages to our clients. Today they asked me to take full ownership of that outside social media marketing on top of my current job duties.

I expressed a need for a promotion or raise to compensate for the major increase in responsibility, a responsibility that is not currently in my description.

They pushed back.

Wtf do I do

Anyone know of headhunters in publishing or entertainment, or good ones in our world who are savvy in such things?

Just me here hoping that slack never adds the “read” notification on messages.

If you were offered a job at a great agency but working on just one brand, but it was a big one like Nike or McDonalds, would you do it? Being siloed sucks, but maybe worth it for a big account?

I put in my two weeks! But now it's weird here haha. Agencies should ask you to leave and pay you out. This is silly.
