Saw a dream job posted on LinkedIn. The requirements say 8+ years experience for a Senior Copywriter role; I have 5 years and a book I’m proud of but no major awards. Not a chance or worth a shot?

Definitely worth a shot.

To expand on what everyone is saying, job posts often contain unicorn standards. Perfect matches rarely exist. So while the IDEAL candidate may have 8 years, your 5 still makes you a great fit.

Go for it.

Yes, absolutely. I went to an event for creatives at LI last might and it seems that if you have a range of work that shows your skills AND you’re a good fit for their professional environment, you’d absolutely be valuable.

Hello everyone

I have been in the Customer success manager position for the last 1 and a half years and working in an IT company in Gujarat. I want to relocate to dubai. Does my experience help me to get a decent salary job as a CSM or Project manager in Dubai?

My total work experience is of 9 years in various domains.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Fishes,

Does anyone know about the IAAP diploma in IFRS?

IAAP is an awarding body in UK.

My doubt is, does the value of the certificate of IFRS change depending on the Institution?

Will a person who cleared IFRS from IAAP have same value as a person who cleared IFRS from ACCA?

Thanks in advance

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
