Note to recruiters and agency casting:

If YOU reached out to ME about a job, we actually had a call, and you say you’ll follow up… you should follow up. And at the very least, you should reply to my email following up.

So sick of this disrespectful, immature behavior.

Ask people to work during their days off or while they are sick makes employees resentful. True or false?

My dad who lives in Asia just announced that he had a medical issue. I’m starting to enter the age where I’m going to take care of him financially. It’s a $2,000 hospital bill which in the US is nothing compared to what it represents there (which he can’t afford). He’s going to be fine! Just wanted to share with this group as many of you can understand what it feels like to support your parents when they’re old, not the other way around. I feel so blessed I can help him. 🙏🏽

Have you ever been racially discriminated against in a personal healthcare situation/not at work? While you were ill or in the hospital?

How long did it take you to receive your first promotion? I have 3 years of work experience, currently at my 3rd agency, and third associate position. Four people on my brand team have been promoted (across levels and departments, but none in PM).

I wanted to get your thoughts on the following:

2. Term life options for myself (under 30)

I recently went through a medical family emergency and realised how important insurance is. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Recruiters in the USA

I'm London based, never worked anywhere else, but I like the idea of freelancing abroad while it's simple what with all the WFH.

Can anyone recommend any good US-based recruiters? I am a senior copywriter.
