my internship is ending soon (client budget got cut so they're not hiring me) and I'm chatting today with the recruiter who hired me- is it okay to ask him if he could intro me to others?

Yes. Leverage your personal network as much as you can. if it's truly a budget situation then they will feel for you and try to help you out.

Not just the recruiter. Ask all the other creatives who surely have friends who work at other shops in town.

I got my first job that way! My internship couldn't hire me, and I found an open rec at a company in the network. A colleague then recommended me to people they knew at that company. Ask and you shall receive 😊

We had an intern we couldn’t hire due to budget reasons. They came to us with a job they were interested in at another agency and we used our social networks to give them a solid recommendation so they could get hired. It worked!

Would definitely leverage the current bbdo network and go in with some options you’d like to explore so they know where to start.

Recruiters know other recruiters so they’ll get you in touch with them. When I got laid off once, the recruiter from the agency that laid me off sent me a list of people I could get in touch with post lay off which was awesome. If you’re a good egg, people will help you.

in a follow up question to this- if yes, how do I phrase it?

I know we have lots of connections here, at other agencies and at the big social media companies as well...but I don't exactly want to say "I'd like to work at Droga 5/Pinterest, can you make that happen?"

Hi guys, I got a feeling that big 4 or T2 companies kinda quiet in jakarta as opposed to MBB where they conduct lots of recruiting events (management consulting). Any reason for that particularly or maybe big 4 prefer internal hiring only?

Why has it been so dang hard to move from banking to a strategy role in my industry or expertise? Or a start up? 90% of my applications have passed on me before even giving me a first round interview! I’ve been on over 6 deals, and wanting out and it’s been extremely frustrating! Any insight or advice?

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?
