With the Black Lives Matter movement making agencies think about diversity, I thought it would help Latin Americans as well. Unbelievably, people STILL think it’s okay to broadly assume Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans and Dominicans are not “qualified” to work in advertising. Look https://joinfishbowl.com/post_gkppjui

Hi all,
Looking for a career change, I’ve experience in project management, oncology, health promotion, engagement, inclusion and diversity and hoping to work for a pharma. Happy to relocate and would love some guidance and referral please 🙏🏾

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️

How many years did it take you to reach ACD and what’s your gender?
8/F

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

I just drunkenly admitted that I don't mind being a diversity hire.

Hello! I am an admin professional here with no tech background currently, seeking a position in tech! I am focusing on hr or project/program management for now until I can build up my skill set. Is there anyone who would be willing to offer some suggestions on where to apply/get an interview? I am a woc as well so places that value diversity is important, and I’m really looking to get even just a pinky in the door. Thank you!

Biggest stereotypes about working in diversity & inclusion....Go!

any advice on resources/connections to identify transferable skills after spending 20 years in media strategy/planning & recently client operations? ideally want to get out of hamster wheel ad agency world and into more meaningful areas like non-profit organizations, hiring diversity initiatives, etc. Open to taking pay/title/role step back if needed

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

Hello everyone.

Hi everyone! I’d love to hear your thoughts on EEO surveys during the job application process. Is it more beneficial to self-disclose or refrain from disclosing race, gender, disability, etc?

Which method is more likely to get your application noticed? Any guidance would be helpful on my job hunt. Thank you.

I know most of the questions here will be on sexism or inclusion of POC but can we talk about ageism? Once we reach a certain age should we just leave the agency business? Is that fair?

Hello! Does anyone have any feedback they’d like to share on BIP (Business Integration Partners) specifically the Milan/Rome offices? I really like the way the firm presents itself online, though the lack of diversity in their leadership is astonishing…
Thank you!

Anyone from Nationwide? I’d like to hear feedback from current and old employees about the work environment, salary (G3), development, diversity etc. I completed an interview for Claims Manager position.

Everyone talks about diversity all the time, but I'll just say, I've never once seen a news anchor who wasn't abnormally pretty (girls OR guys). Just sayin' is all

What do you wish you knew before starting your career in Diversity & Inclusion?

I recently saw a job opening at a company that I really love, and would like to apply. The recruiter has posted it on her Linkedin several times, each time with multiple hashtags about diversity. I am straight off the Mayflower white. Does applying look super tone-deaf? Is this an unofficial way of stating that they’re only considering non-white individuals for the role?

what’re the agencies in Toronto that are best for diversity / healthy culture of mutual respect for all - women, POC? know nowhere is perfect but any doing okay?

Why are town Hall meetings so impersonal? They are all about awards / the number of people hired. I know FCB health is large, but we never hear from people who aren’t Executives. Last town hall, when discussing inclusion efforts, there were no people of color represented and one of the 4 pillars of diversity was centered around our “reputation as an organization” (that really rubbed me the wrong way). At my last agency those conversations were always led by people of color from every level.

Can partners comment whether Pwc is having another round of layoffs. This is so scary! Shouldn't they rid of partners who can't sell first?! Or pause hiring? Opp. cost to find and train talent again?

What are some of the best M&A conferences attended?

Anyone else here realized they have some alcohol moderation issues? I graduated college within the past 1.5 yrs and my friends are still in the heavy weekend drinking phase. I have realized I need to cut my drinking way down. I don’t drink every day and won’t crave a drink when I’m sober but it’s like once I start I don’t typically stop. I only drink about 2 times a week, but it’s the volume of drinks that’s the issue. I’m not ready to quit - just cut down a lot! Tips/advice appreciated! TIA :)

Is it possible for someone with anxiety to have a career at MBB? Anyone currently in this situation? How do you cope?

I’m looking make a transition internally but fear the comp will not be competitive as if I was an external candidate. Any suggestions to negotiate?

My girlfriend, 29, is looking to move out of teaching. She is willing to get certifications or designations but has no business background. Any suggestions for career change? Either positions or ways to get into the business world would be great!

Current job openings?

Thought it would be good to start a new post for anyone who knows of BA openings to post them for those looking. Bonus if you have the recruiter name at the agency.

Looking to leave Cybersecurity Consulting and join FAANG. My role currently is not the most technical however - more on the cybersecurity strategy and risk side.

Any ideas if what kind of roles I should look at?

Hiya!

I'm looking at applying to MBB (Preferably BCG) for a summer internship this summer. I'm a first-gen Oxbridge student, and while I have little experience in consulting along the lines of MBB, I did work in the city last summer as an sustainability consultant.

I'm curious how important it is to have a referral etc and what you'd recommend for applications opening in jan. Any advice is super appreciated I don't have any connections to the industry but it's something im interested in.

I had the first round with a consulting firm and it takes them more than a month to arrange the final round and the recruiter is not being responsive. Is that normal?

Forza Ferrari! Let’s go!! 1-2 in Round 2!

Applying for a job at Aha! Feeling very passionately about this company and was wondering if there are any recruiters who can help to recommend me for the position.

Share your story about Spanish “incidents" in creative work! (Continued)

Senior PM needed at down south agency. DM me for details.

The internationally-reported subway shooting in Brooklyn was a hate crime against Latinos. The shooter had lots of anti-Latino online content and targeted a majority Latino neighborhood. Notice how there’s little mention of this in the news.

Can anyone share agencies with good, genuine Latino representation, especially in leadership? My dream is to work at an agency that reflects the demographic of the city it's in (i'm in LA)

So there's this really great brief that comes around every year for the past 3 years and again my partner and I have been asked to help...but only on the Spanish translation. Why do I feel offended?

Would like to organize events/speaker panels throughout the year, to highlight and empower the latinx group at my agency, are there any ideas or groups I should reach out to to help kick this off?

Has anyone here worked at fluent360, any thoughts?

I just joined our planning committee and have to come up with ideas for Hispanic Heritage Month (virtually). But no one on the committee is Hispanic so any ideas on how to authentically celebrate?

Someone asked me if they speak Brazilian in Argentina

Who here thinks “Hispanic marketing” is broken? I never understood how you can target one of the most diverse group of people under one strategy...
