Why is it so hard to get hired in this city? Even pre-pandemic getting a creative role was full of door slams. What’s going on?

How senior are you?
Cuz there's lots of agencies hiring right now and recently.

A few things to consider:

Lots of the agencies are going through recruiters, so try and connect with recruiters on LinkedIn.

Are you applying to the right types of agencies? Is your book as good as you think it is?

Are you applying to roles above your experience or skill?

Thanks for the response. I’m Junior/Mid-level and applying for both of these roles...all I ever hear is I’m either too qualified or under qualified. I see agencies hiring but never see these roles actually being filled. Recruiters always ghosting. Do you have any agencies off the top of your head hiring?

Working for a big insurance provider and currently at a grade 6 individual contributor role and want to get a grade 8 manager role. Managers make 40% more than my current salary on average. Is it crazy to think I would get offered that because it’s a senior position? I know 10% is a promotion raise at the company but that wouldn’t make sense jumping up 2 levels. Thoughts?

Community, I’ve been meeting with a lot of people regarding next steps in my career. One of the best pieces of advice I received is to avoid micro-managing executive staff (agency leadership), as it puts downward and unwelcome pressure on people’s managers and ultimately oneself. Based on your experience in the last 2 years are there:
- Agencies you would steer clear from because their leadership micromanages
- Agencies you would recommend because their leadership gives you room to grow

Thx 🙏🏼
