No longer waisting my time with roles, agencies or recruiters that tell you “let’s see” The reality is if something is mentioned in the job description that you don’t possess. Even if you get far in the interview stage. You’re more likely competing with people who posses it. Or you’re not getting past the first interview. Or they say it’s not a need however on the interview you’re being asked about it. A role shouldn’t be apples to apples either. Otherwise you’re not growing.

This very thing happened to me last week. I was so excited to interview with a much larger agency than who I work with now. I have quite a broad range of skills in social media, but all they asked about was engagement. Totally understood that would be a significant part of the role, but engagement for major brands looks different than the local companies I work with now. Did not get pas the first interview due to other more “experienced” candidates.

Def I was sent to a company that wanted 360 or Integrated Campaigns which I have. By the second interview when I asked what types of campaigns do you have? It turned into live stunts. That’s the majority. A diff recruiter called me yesterday. They are still interviewing. My interview was 6/21. After that interview thats what prompted me to post this. Had the recruiter did the deep dive or they are not revealing it. Communication is missing. I should have never been submitted.
