Moving into a new role to support marketing efforts of two smaller divisions under our brand umbrella. When I asked my boss what the job description was to create year end goals they told me to write one. . . Where do I start?

How are you supporting the divisions? Are you the manager, will you report to someone else in your marketing department? What’s the budget they plan to allocate for the growth of these divisions? Will the budget allow you to hire someone for social, web, etc? Or will it be a one person job? How are the other divisions doing? Start with budget and expectations and go from there.

I think it's a great opportunity for you to develop something you are passionate about. You should start with deciding what your goals will be at the end of the year and then create a path.

What a great opportunity you have, and don't worry, you will do it perfectly. In my opinion, you should start by laying the groundwork that you have to begin with and then look forward.

Scope out the project and get an idea of what it will take to complete it. As you do this, you should be able to get a clearer picture of what your role will be in this project and what marks you should be hitting by the end of the year

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)

Many thanks.
