Tearthepaperceiling.org is a pledge to interview/hire workers who have received informal training and don’t have college degrees. Do you feel degrees are necessary for your work? Would you consider non-degreed staff? I’m seeing these billboards a lot.

I think it really depends on what the job is. Personally, I don't think you need a college degree if you are able and competent at your job. However, college does teach you valuable life skills like unique critical thinking tools, how to be independent with your self and studies, it also helps you build a network and gain exposure to different perspectives. That said, I believe experience, skills, and work ethic can be just as valuable—if not more so—than a degree in many fields. I’d absolutely consider hiring someone without a degree if they demonstrate the right abilities, mindset, and willingness to learn. College isn't the only path to success, and it's important to recognize the talent and expertise that come from alternative learning experiences.

As a part-time college instructor, I’ve worked with some great students along with students that do the bare minimum to get by. The university would prefer that we don’t fail them. I have a reputation for being a tough grader, because I want them to be able to compete in the workplace. Unfortunately, there are a lot of grads out who fall short of what you described.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?

Facebook Ads after iOS 14 changes.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?

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?
