When someone gets laid off early on in their career, how do recruiters and creative directors evaluate their portfolio? Especially if it doesn’t have much produced work...

Hi,
I recently gave 3rd round of interview with Gamma and it went very smoothly.
I answered every question even interview ended on a very good note andI was confident that I will definitely make it to the next round then after an hour later I got the rejection email.

I still am in shock what could have gone wrong. Seriously what could have gone wrong.

When is a 3 page resume acceptable?

Is it normal to be ghosted after interviews? I’ve had three recently and not one callback.

Hi all,

Seeing some posts on layoffs in barclays. Is it true and which category of Employees will fall in that list.

I have an interview tomorrow with a recruiter who contacted me through LinkedIn. I believe I am way under-qualified for the position and I pointed that out to her, but she responded with several points from my resume as to why she believes the role is a good fit with my experience. It would be a leap, but maybe I need to take it as a challenge and not limit myself? I just don’t want to get in over my head and fall flat on my face. What are some questions I could ask during the first interview?

Hi all, looking for advice on… well everything career related 😔 it’s the “great resignation” and people are moving on to better things all around me. I’ve been actively searching and interviewing for at least 6 months, and no offers after final round. I’m struggling to stay motivated to search and fake enthusiasm in interviews, and I’m still increasingly miserable in my new job. I think I need a career coach - any solid recos? Or is it even a career coach I need to help me get on track?

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.

How long it will take to receive cis form after L2 interview round. I have attended L2 round last week. Still no response

Currently looking to make a lateral move to other firms in the region. Anyone can suggest good and serious headhunters?

Hello Fishes,
I cleared the Level 2 interview as an Appian developer. Could you please let me know what Level 3 interview would be about? Thr HR said it's an interaction session with the panel. But should I be prepared technically?

Really want to get a job a particular company that’s actively hiring for a remote team. Should I try to network my way in or just make the best application possible and hope for the best?

Good books for case prep/valuation. Econ consulting, if relevant. TIA

Do we really have lay offs happening in zs ?

Hello Fishes, Just curious to know anyone working with any gaming companies (EA Games,Activision, ubisoft, Sega,etc)

Hi guys,
I have cleared all the rounds for LTI post which I received autogenerated mail and then later HR asked to upload documents. In how many days can I expect offer letter?

Is “Hacking the Case Interview” any good?

Dear KBS, today we received 17 all agency emails. Yesterday it was 20. Surely upper management has a better way to use their time. Make it stop. Love, KBS

Is there anyone in this bowl who has switched to GSK from ZS. I have few questions. Won't waste much of your time. Please let me know if we can connect over DM.

Thanks :)

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?

Are internal lateral moves always a huge pain?

How do you justify a $100k pay cut to go in house?

How much does a young partner make at a regional NYC firm (4-5 offices in the tri-state area)? (I understand this is specific to the firm but just a ballpark number would be interesting to know).

Would you take a £10k pay rise to move to industry in a global role if it meant no promotion prospects and working with no team mates?

Hi Friends,

I have total 11 years of experience in IT (Enterprise applications:Oracle Weblogic) and 4 years in DevOps, Git, Google Cloud, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes. Currently working with Accenture India. I have been trying for almost a month in LinkedIn (applying for jobs as directly messaging recruiters) for opportunities in London, however not getting any positive response/interview calls.

If anyone working in UK can refer me in their organization, would be really helpful

My controversial opinion of the day is that organic social is worth fuckall for the majority of brands (including the trendy lifestyle ones) and that influencers are just propping up vanity metrics.

Have you ever said “no” to working on a project? If so, how?

LA folks, how do you meet people in this city? Just moved here and have some friends but am eager to meet more. Any tips?

We should make a shareable version of those templated AICP Awards Judge Portraits, but for people in furlough.

It will be an exciting series of job seeking announcements.

I guess it’s common now to not bring a laptop to show your work at an interview? We’ve had 10 art director candidates come through and maybe 7 of them did not come with any way of showing their work.

Laid off, 10 years exp, tired of acct management. Feel so lost. Don't want to go back to agency side. What should I do? I feel like 💩
