Recruiter said she sent my book around to a few creative directors, but I haven’t seen any activity on my website. Did she lie? If so, why would she even mention that/say she did?

Also know that she probably included 9 other portfolio links in the same email.

She said she sent them, not that they clicked on your book link. CD’s are busy, give it time.

Our internal recruiter has to set up meetings to get our CDs to sit down and go through books. Your CDs are busy people. Get used to waiting for them.

Sent does not equal visited.

I ignore at least 3 recruiters sending unsolicited portfolio site links a day.

1. Hasn’t got around to it yet
2. Is not looking for anyone

Is anyone at a job they really, truly enjoy that also pays competitively (and has good benefits)? In my experience, I haven’t found anything that satisfies both.

Maybe it’s just the way this industry is?
