It’s a good reminder that we all need to have a year’s worth of living expenses saved up. I learned the lesson in 2008 but it’s making me put a lot more money aside right now.

Laid off about a year ago and I am fortunate to have been booked for freelance almost constantly. Grateful but it’s been a lot of work and hard to not have a sense of stability. Especially with so many other talented freelancers out there right now.

Omg, I so agree. Great books are great, but if you don’t have the personality to sell yourself or come off as a stand out from the rest of the pack, then it’s time to…not sure what. Fill in the blanks right here

Nope! Been out of work for 15 months. Desperately looking but it seems most of the jobs advertised are ghost jobs, As they never hire and the position has been posted for over a year.

Hello,

I have cleared interview with Wipro a month ago and after 15 days I received a simple mail from HR saying you are selected.

Since that day, there is no communication from HR team of Wipro . I tired of sending multiple emails and when I tried to call he always declines my call.

Between director of respected technology is reaching me and he wants me to join ASAP and take over the project work.

What should I do now?

Thanks

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Just got turned down for a job I really wanted. No interview. I even had a referral, but they didn't even look at my book! Feeling empty and worthless right now. I know I have inherent value as a human being but I am so desperate to succeed and can't seem to catch a break. Just wanted to vent. Thank you for reading.

Advice/suggestions please:
Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

If you have any insight/two cents you up for sharing to help me out, thank you!
