My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.

HR is so iffy it honestly never occurred to me to NOT do this. How would you feel any sense of agency+allegiance to your team if you didn’t?

Bigger challenge: Support, listen to, pay, and promote your female, LGBTQ, and BIPOC peers. Everyone happily jumps on board with supporting fresh young faces whom they can project their own hopes and aspirations onto, but most seem to lose interest once those individuals gain enough experience and perspective to start having opinions, asking questions, or posing a competitive threat.

I heard that this is a real thing. ”Back-loading? In example: listing jobs that don’t ”actually ” exist. Have heard that recruiter doesn’t know that they may be listing non-existent positions?

Furthermore, when did a ”junior” position start as 2+ years of experience? And interns as 1+years of experience?

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?

Any referral for Presales Or Strategy. Thanks in advance.

On top of marketing, I also have to service a few larger accounts that are difficult. My salary is in the $70k range and I feel it’s a bit on the low end…
