Why does it seem like some Advertising positions are open for months, but no one can get a job? Can agencies really afford to be this picky or am I missing something?

ACD1 is correct. Many are either posted to make the agency look like they’re doing well, or purposely left up after they’ve already hired a candidate for the same reason.

The law also applies to the websites, too. So LinkedIn can get fined simply by allowing it. It hasn’t been signed by the governor yet but it passed the state senate.

It definitely shows you how important they think the role is if it can sit unfilled for 6 months.

There’s been so many times that my agency has said they’re hiring and then there’s some sort of delays from the holding co. So it might be that.

I don't think I've ever had a bad attitude at work, and whatever "tone" I'm speaking in it's my normal one. As a Black woman I just feel super weird about it and kind of sad.

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity.

I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.
