What's going on with the job market in advertising, marketing and tech? Seemingly everyone has either been affected or knows people who have been laid off in the past couple of years. With so many people out in the market, it feels like landing a great gig is nearly impossible. But is this true? How should we be thinking about our CVs, our skills and our networks? When does it make sense to use LinkedIn and when is working with a good recruiter the right option? And speaking of recruiters, are they really all ghosting us? On this episode, we pose these and other burning questions to Mandana Mellano, founder of Peony Recruitment, an LA firm specializing in the field of marketing. Mandana is a former agency exec who founded her firm to advise clients on the best strategies to identify talent and candidates on how to best market themselves in a competitive environment. She has a good feel for how companies are recalibrating their hiring methodologies in the age of AI, an uneven economy and multiple work models and what it takes for candidates to stand out from the pack.
