What advice would you all give to someone who’s getting interviews but not receiving job offers. It’s never easy to wait on feedback, given that most employers aren’t subjected to give any, so what other avenues can one take to show prospective employers that one could perform the job duties as expressed in the JD? Also, what routes did it take you all to gain employment?

From what I understand
Most people are not even getting interviews

I keep looking/interviewing until someone asks “when can you start?”. I interview, do my best, send a “thank you/I’m very interested” email. Then I keep looking. Even if the interview went great, there are no guarantees

Thanks, I’d keep persisting. Wishing you the best day!

I might have a spending problem. I don’t think (?) I have a full blown addiction, but I’m cleaning out my closet and finding stuff that is few years old, still with the tags on, and lots of duplicates. I get a dopamine hit when I find a good deal and I’m wondering if it’s going too far. I can pay my bills, but I’m wasting a lot of $$ on things I don’t need. I have multiple family members who are/were addicts and hoarders and my own behavior is making me nervous. Any other big shoppers out there?

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
