About me
My name is Jennifer Bunting. I lead product marketing for LinkedIn marketing solutions across EMEA. When you're on LinkedIn, and you see ads and sponsored elements, those are the products that my team works on. In this article, I'm going to share with you some experiences that I've had across 20 years in digital advertising.
When I first started in tech, I would be asked to hire people only two days into starting with a company. Or, I would be asked to interview people with no job description, or with a very limited understanding of the job requirements.
