Please forgive me if this sounds insensitive, I’m just trapped in my apt with my thoughts 🥴

I interviewed at a place last Monday (right when covid-19 was getting real in the US) CONT.

Honestly I was heading into second round of interviews and followed up a couple weeks ago right as the chaos was ramping up. I heard back that they’re just figuring things out but given what has happened lately I’m guessing hiring is not at the forefront of their thoughts. Your situation may be different but I’m waiting until this dies down to follow up.

OP - I’m in the same boat. I had my final interview, sample project, and personality test 2 weeks ago and was supposed to hear last Friday. I’m going to follow up, but give them a little time. Priorities and timelines have shifted and the entire agency is WFH. I’m thinking about asking if there’s anything I can do to help.

Thanks for posting, OP. I had a solid R2 interview earlier in the month in which I was told they’d like to bring me on for freelance-to-hire, but it’s been radio silence since. (I did send my follow-up thank you email, but it’s now been nearly two weeks without communication.) I was thinking about reaching out, but will likely hold tight a bit longer.

I haven’t heard back (which is 100% fair considering it’s the apocalypse). Should I reach out? Is that insensitive?

Jeez what jumped in freelance copywriter's panties? Homie got real upset real fast. That quarantine life affecting folks I see 😂

Did you already send your follow up thank you? I would wait a beat because everything is so uncertain right now.

That’s helpful SC1, thank you!

As everybody tells u will get more offers during the last one month of notice.

My scenario is i have decent offer but i dont like to join there because of location issue and im looking for jobs in new tech where i have less exp.

Considering this even though if i have less knowlege and if i perform a decent interview process will i get offers at the last moment?Is the offers during the late notice is given based on as he can join early even his performance is average during interview. Pls share

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
