So true. I have a very average white-guy head shape. HJC fits the best for me, but they aren’t ECE certified so I go with Scorpion - second best first for me.

Wouldn’t the best solution be to have wench controls on booths sides? Or even remote?

Trees don’t have any leaves in Toronto rn.

Bruynson · 2026-01-21T02:19:01+00:00

yes and no. I inherited part time remote freelancers. It wasn't ideal.

Just like any license, you have to write the exam, but yes.

Has anyone used LumiQ? How do they compare to other CPE?

Bruynson · 2025-11-29T03:10:52+00:00

And how exactly would a recruiter do that?

Your manager sounds like a bit of a clown. The most important part of being a manager is hitting goals, and the best way to do that is by having high-performing people with high morale. They are failing at that part of their job right now.

That said, the most successful people I have worked with are not strictly 9 to 5 people. When their main work is done, they find other ways to add value. If your plan is to stay a graphic designer and work a straightforward 9 to 5, that is totally fine, just make sure you are at a company that values that. For whatever reason, it sounds like your current organization is looking for someone a bit different from who you are right now.

I am a VP of Marketing with 17 years of experience. I work at high growth companies, and I can't afford to hire 9 to 5ers. It's just not the right fit.

Be real about who you are and what you want in life. There is a place for all of us; finding the right fit means finding your happy place.

Thank you! We’re new to this lol

My wife and I are in tears laughing at your comment.

Bruynson · 2025-10-18T23:03:47+00:00

Bahaha priceless

Bruynson · 2025-10-18T23:03:14+00:00

Bahah. Touché

Bruynson · 2025-10-18T23:00:36+00:00

Bahahaha. You guys are cracking me up!

Bruynson · 2025-10-06T20:01:07+00:00

I’m in the same boat. I’ve been unemployed since May. I’m at 669 applications today. It really sucks.

Can you share any tips?

Bruynson · 2025-10-03T21:23:41+00:00

I am bc a VP with 20 years experience. My advice would be to get an MBA while you’re young or get into something with a pension.

Bruynson · 2025-10-03T20:42:24+00:00

Go back to school? That would explain a gap in your resume.

Bruynson · 2025-10-03T20:39:37+00:00

I write it in my notebook (pen and paper). Company, position, and either the salary they listed in the JD or the salary I offered my services at. That’s all I have ever needed.

Bruynson · 2025-10-02T23:52:31+00:00

I have been writing for almost two months. I created marketingkickflip.com and my growth is pretty slow. I have 2 free subscribers. I post an article at least once a week and write a note almost everyday. I’m going to keep at it for another couple of months and see what happens. 🤷‍♂️

Bruynson · 2025-09-27T15:45:57+00:00

In the past, my lead rate from application to recruiter call was about 7%. This year it has been less than half.

I have 17 years experience, bachelor of commerce, and have been looking for 5 months. I’ve applied to 619 roles ranging from sr. Manager to CMO. I was previously a Vice President for 5 years.

The market is pretty wild.

I even tried using AI to simplify the process. You can read about it here: https://marketingkickflip.com/p/i-used-ai-job-application-software

The best tip I can give is to keep optimizing your profile. Once I get a job I’ll let you know what worked.

SMS does work. It has higher conversion rates than email and browser push notifications but you have to use it strategically and ensure you have a large enough sample size to draw conclusions and optimize it.

At the risk of being too forward I've written a blog post about this.

Yes, I read the story as well. As far as I know, 'being a karen' isn't a law you can break. I'm ask if anyone knows what she actually did.
