We often caution candidates that Advertising is a small world. There is so much movement within this industry (thankfully) that it’s likely that the Account Director you flipped off in the elevator may be sitting across from you in an interview a couple years later. Oops.
Well, dear Hiring Manager, the same is true for you. [...]

One of the things I love about recruiting for the advertising world is that people who live and work in this world are open to change. It’s just the nature of the beast. It’s a dynamic industry and the people who thrive are those who see the benefit of moving to new agencies and exploring [...]

I think some of us could use a reminder that we are all really OUT THERE in terms of our virtual footprint. Each week, I post blogs on this site. I send emails to candidates and represent this company in many ways. Anyone who wanted to poke around a bit could find out any number [...]

Kids go through phases. Thanks God they are “phases” since that word implies there will be an end eventually. We are currently in Round Two of my six year old son in Melt Down Phase. He’s a little guy but he has some big feelings and when he feels they are stepped on, we hear [...]

Anyone who has known me for a time knows one definite thing about me. I hate to be startled. It is not funny to leap out from behind a door and scream at me. It is not high comedy to drop a loud cup on the kitchen floor as I’m standing there. I hate when [...]

Last week, two boxes arrived for my children from Amazon.  A dear friend of mine emailed me and told me she had sent them each a book.  And she was wise enough to know that opening the box is part of the delight.  So she sent two separate boxes. I brought them in from the front [...]

I recently had a [tag]candidate[/tag] interview at a [tag]kick-ass agency[/tag]. You would think she would be over the moon to be considered for this position. A nice raise, cool accounts, the prestige of her name on that business card. But, instead, she came away with a whole lot of questions.
I think sometimes [tag]hiring managers[/tag] get [...]

I used to date this guy in my 20s (who shall remain nameless) who was under the misconception that he could do better than me. This probably comes across as a bit cocky on my part, but allow me to explain.
I was twenty-two and HOT. I had a real job, made lots of money, [...]

One time, my husband and I went to [tag]Puerto Rico[/tag] and, since my foreign language classes consisted of Latin and French (read: useless), I was a bit worried about the prospect of [tag]Spanish[/tag].  He assured me that he was On. It.  His extensive training in high school and college Spanish would fare us well.Flash forward [...]

My six year old son has actually been known to yell at the clock at bedtime as if that damn clock is the culprit that is making him go to bed at 8:00 pm.   “Nooooo!  It can’t be 8:00 yet!  I still need to ride my bike some more!!!”

 Like him, I’d love an extra few [...]
