I can do it, too. I got approached by two people who were looking for a job. Person one: Hey, I'm looking for new opportunities. Are you looking to hire? Me: What are your areas of experience? Candidate: I can do just anything, such as task management, billing, and being a creative director or customer support rep. He turned me off. ❌ Person two: Hi, I know you have a marketing firm. Are you currently looking to hire? Me: What are your areas of experience? Candidate: I have experience in project management, but I like other similar tasks, too, and I am open to learning. He caught my attention. ✔ 👉 Everything in life is sales. 👉 Sales is all about clear communication and knowing what and how to say things. #GYBMarketing #CMOServices

Hot off the press... 🔥 Resource Executive - Inhouse Creative Agency. The Wish List 📜 ✔ Some experience working within a creative agency before would be a big bonus (as little as 1 years experience is fine, just so you have an understanding life in a creative team) ✔Things happen and change fast, but that won't throw you off because you'll love that setup in a role. ✔Numbers and Data are your friend! Let's be honest, it's not for everyone and that's okay, but crunching numbers and data to review our creative team capacity and workload is the main part of this role. So it has to be something you enjoy. ✔Don't shy away from communications. You'll be liaising with various teams to assess priorities and re-align work. ✔Be nice. I'm biased but it's a great team filled with different personalities all sharing the same common goal - to create some knock out work for our brands. So we want someone who can slot in and add another great dimension to our creative team. Types of roles/ experience that would be suited to this: Project Coordinator, Workstream Coordinator, Junior Project Manager, Resource Executive ( 😉 ), Production Coordinator. 🏢 The role is 2 days in the office per week 📍 Can be Nottingham or London based 🔗 Link to the role in the comments

Shane Tarplee from Motion Recruitment is looking for a Product Marketing Manager and the pay range is $100k-$130k. https://lnkd.in/g7SJNBdZ Product managers that are being staffed by tech recruiting agencies in this market are some of the best roles to target as a candidate. There are two type of recruiters in tech. There are internal recruiters who work in house and external recruiters at agency who are paid a commission by the company to staff an extremely urgent role. 80% of the positions in tech haven’t even been posted yet, because everybody procrastinates doing work they and there’s nothing a refuting hates more than posting up jobs. Yuck, just writing this out brings back such painful memories. Here is a link to all the product manager roles being staffed by recruiters along with their name, contact information, pay rate, and remote or hybrid status. See you in Skool! https://lnkd.in/gCsMZ-Ab Don’t be late to Skool! https://lnkd.in/gCsMZ-Ab PS Let me know if you would like me to refer you and if I can I will. I am connected to tons of recruiters in the industry, but I can’t say I am close with all of them. Please RESHARE this post for all your colleagues still looking for a job. #productmanagement #productmanagementcareers #productmanagementjobs #speedtolead

I was doodling after a workshop (guilty here) and, with a few coworkers, realized we were all wearing many hats in our roles. As Marketing Coordinator, I was hired to build brand awareness. We are looking for new clients. This meant I needed to partner with operations. Oh, and sales! We needed to prep the ground, so our internal workflow was in sync with client onboarding. Operational changes were made. Team leads take care of quality assurance, project management, and client communication. On top of that, they coached our developers, and we have reduced our development timelines. Somehow, we are connected. My work affects my coworkers. And theirs, mine. This has changed how we approach our projects and view client interactions – it’s a two-way street of #CreativePartnership. Have you experienced a similar surprising turn in your #LnD and #HR roles? How did it impact your professional growth? #ClientSuccess #ProfessionalDevelopment #LearningAndDevelopment #Marketing #MarketingMonday

Tuesday Tip! #Hiring for a new role? . . . If you’re hiring for a new position or a role you’ve never had in your company, it’s important to define what the position will entail first. Then, use a clear title based on the duties and tasks you laid out. Instead of “Product Guru” or “Happiness Coordinator,” use a more obvious title. “Inside Salesperson,” “HR Director,” “Marketing Manager,” etc.

Stop offering false hope and empty promises for engagement. It's time to be honest about your capabilities and availability. If you ask people to come to your DM, please respond to them timely. And if they comment on your post, then reply to their contribution. It goes a long way on helping you! If you're overwhelmed, consider delegating tasks. Your credibility suffers when you can't deliver on your promises. Set realistic expectations and communicate openly with your audience. Consider hiring a Virtual Assistant or collaborating with professionals to lighten your workload. Remember, teamwork is essential in effective marketing. Have you faced challenges balancing tasks? Share your experiences in the comments. Let's discuss effective task management strategies.

Job Seekers: 𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝗠𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗬. It's full of self-judgment and it diminishes you. Don't believe me? Try on this sentence. "𝗜'𝗺 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗮 <𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲>". I'm just an admin I'm just a developer I'm just a sales director I'm just a project manager I'm just a chief technology officer Don't just think it in your head. Say it out loud. Sit with it. Now, try on this sentence. "𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗮 <𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲>!" I am a chief marketing officer! I am a project manager! I am a sales director! I am a developer! I am an admin! Again, don't just think it in your head. Say it out loud. Sit with it. Which feels better? The second one, right? So USE that one from now on. Stop diminishing yourself before you can even try to get in front of the people who can help you get where you want to be.
