What's your take on the "skill gap" in digital marketing?

We see a lot of people with certifications who struggle with practical, hands-on tasks. It feels like the education system is failing to produce job-ready talent.

Our attempt to address this is a new platform of free, live exams that simulate real-world problems. The goal is to create a way to verify skills, not just knowledge.

We just announced it today and would love to get this community's take on the approach. first comment link

I love the idea. Not because I consider myself unskilled, but for the opposite: I have a lot of experience and knowledge that isn't immediately evident by a cursory glance at my resume. I would love to be able to tout this to potential employers by showing all the exams I've passed. Will give this a more in-depth look tonight!

I love this concept! The link you posted looked rough with clickbait ads. Can you check that’s the correct link? Do you want some feedback on your website / app?

Additional Posts in Digital Marketing

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?

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?

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?
