Rejected again. For a dream job. That reached out to me. And created hopes. Only to say just kidding three months later. It's been a year since I was employed for the last time. It seems like it was the last time I had a job in advertising.

I'm in the same boat. It's either radio silence or opportunities pop up with recruiters reach out. Saying I'm a perfect fit and submit me. Then, I usually chase them for a bit. Either get ghosted or rejected. Interviewing at a local supermarket for a deli counter worker. Not a joke. Ran out of money

I feel for you. This happened to me over the summer. I was in a dark place too but things did get better. Don’t give up!

Yeah it’s starting to feel about as bad as covid days. I’m endlessly on LinkedIn and seeing lots of quiet layoffs among the big ones… so we’re all going up against more and more candidates for the same roles

Freelance isn’t much better but if you haven’t tried it get yourself out there for those gigs as well. Also apply for unemployment benefits if you haven’t already

Hang in there, keep trying and take care of yourself mentally & physically.

Hi, I'm going on a family vacation to Dominican Republic in January. Looking for some suggestions on best things to do, see and experience.

Kind of a quick rant. I did a quick search through some firms websites because I am thinking of switching jobs. It is definitely clear most firms still do not embrace diversity. I know diverse applicants must be just as qualified! So what is keeping attorneys of color out?? It’s so discouraging.

Hey guys, question regarding new years resolutions. Anyone know some good books about how to lead better and step up to become a great CD?

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

Has any creative here ever tried to make the leap to leave advertising and be a film maker, photographer, illustrator, etc.?? I’m so tired of ad agencies and how draining the “creative” can be.
