who does the hiring at Mischief or Mojo Supermarket or Party Land or literally any shop doing the most creative work right now? It feels so gatekeepy. I want to throw my hat in the ring and network, but don’t even know where to begin. I’ve talked to some creatives who work at these places, and they say they have no hiring power, which I understand. I just redesigned my portfolio with new work and would love to get it in front of the right eyes.

I work at one of these places. Almost all of the hiring is referral based. Big preference for someone if a current employee can vouch for them.

Hey it’s me, your best friend who’s good at advertising. Can you vouch for me?

Honestly they all have head recruiters. It’s them and the founders. The problem is those agencies are very small, so there arent going to be many openings at all, especially at mojo where they just had a small layoffs

Go to their websites. They should have a “work for us” or hiring section

What have you tried so far?

Ask the propel you talk to to refer you.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

I faked my resume I mean my contracting firm did and I didn’t have choice and I got the job. Now my client wants to offer me a full time position. I kind of feel like they trust me with the work I’m doing and also considering my past experiences to offer me a full time and moreover it’s only been 3 months.

I know it’s a little unusual but what do you guys think/suggest me to do in this situation?!

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
