Sorry to intrude guys but I'm trying to learn--how can I get my resume looked at and (dare-i-say) land an interview at an amzing creative shop like Wieden? Or 72? Any advice from those there/familiar?

I think your first obstacle is that you grouped those two shops in the same category...

The best way is to know someone on the inside, obviously. If that’s not an option, get busy on LinkedIn. Message their recruiters and/or people in the dept you’re trying to get into.

First, name what you feel are the top 3 work from Wieden and the same for 72 in the past 6 months.

Yikes, I would not put 72 in the same category as Wieden. The great days at 72 are over. Wieden and Media Arts Lab, yes

So, recently got put on a PIP after six months at my new job., two days after I told my boss and HR I recently learned I have a cognitive disability caused by an illness. The PIP was mostly because I forgot some deadlines, but also they said I need to be more professional in emails (even though others use zero punctuation and a lot of emojis. To clients.) and simultaneously ask more questions and ask fewer questions. Should I just assume this is unattainable and look for a new job again?

Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.
