One a scale of 1 to 10, how tough is the job market right now?

I’ve reached my breaking point with a self righteous and callous supervisor. My client changes their mind so often, they ask almost monthly to change direction no matter how well things are going. After years of grin and bearing it, I need to find a new role.

It's bad, don't quit until you have something lined up. Best of luck!

I think it’s pretty bad unfortunately :( definitely start networking and applying. Sounds like you have tried your best but time to move on.

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being terrible, it’s about a 16. It’s brutal.

Not 16. I would say more like 54. But seriously, so not quit before you find something. I mean, by all means apply and interview and take your time to find the right fit.

Worst it’s been since the Great Recession

I have an interview tomorrow with a recruiter who contacted me through LinkedIn. I believe I am way under-qualified for the position and I pointed that out to her, but she responded with several points from my resume as to why she believes the role is a good fit with my experience. It would be a leap, but maybe I need to take it as a challenge and not limit myself? I just don’t want to get in over my head and fall flat on my face. What are some questions I could ask during the first interview?

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks
