What’s the best way to go about applying for a job at your client? My boss knows I’m not particularly happy but I think they like me, so maybe start there and get their buy in to advocate for me? Put out a feeler with a close client? Apply through the website? I just don’t want my current company to know I’m looking if this doesn’t work out 😆

Talk to your client who you're the closest to personally, tell them you saw this role over there that looks super interesting and you were curious if they had any insight to the role.

If they seem open to the idea and to helping you, that's your in. Your agency isn't going to do anything piss off the client, so the key is for your clients to want to bring you over to their side.

Don’t apply to the close client, word spreads fast. And absolutely not, the boss would not advocate for you.

Tell them that you would like to assist them with the job description as you see ways to improve it and have it appeal to the right person. Then as you are working with them on that just casually bring up that you are the right person for the job. See what their reaction is!
