This week, we said goodbye to a really amazing intern. We didn’t have a FT position right now, but she’s a top candidate when we do. How was your intern summer as an employer or an intern?

We had a very mixed experience with our summer interns. We did offer a job to one. The other two we were happy to see go. The fourth one we probably would’ve hired if we had another position.

Glad that one got a FT opportunity. At least you got to see two others in action and not make the mistake of hiring them from an interview.

Great group of interns! All were heading back to school full-time time and I hope they got a lot out of the experience. We have limited positions for internships. Sometimes I wish we could offer more, but it does help a lot to have a smaller group that we can focus on.

If you thought it was a great summer, I’m sure they got a lot out of it.

Overall we’ve had a positive experience. We have been in growth mode but the business has been slowing down so we haven’t had many entry level roles open to convert interns into recently. Hope that changes by next spring.

I try to have my interns shadow different departments. If I can’t hire, someone else might be able to. That happened to our last intern hired.

Keep in touch! You never know if things change in a year

I plan to. If she’s available next summer, I’d offer the internship to her again. I interned at an ad agency for two summers myself.

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.

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?
