Luckily the few times I’ve been asked this involved companies I wasn’t super sold on. So I got to say, “Well, I’m here to learn more about you guys and see if I’m a fit for you and vice versa.”

Basically saying, “I’m not sure i want to work for you, and you have to earn my interest as well.”

Why does the 3% Conference get so much money from agencies & clients when they have a history of showcasing toxic, abusive to female employees underneath them, women in advertising? Every year, people are shocked at who gets featured there. The idea is not just to celebrate women, it’s to celebrate aspirational women. Maybe they ran out of speakers and are dipping down too much. But agencies and clients should take a hard look at who is speaking before giving money.
