Do you list all of the clients you’ve worked with on your resume? After 16+ years (including leadership roles) it would be dozens of recognizable clients without much room for accomplishments, but I’m wondering if I’m missing the opportunity ti catch a recruiters eye without them. Should I include a few for each role? What do you recommend?

We’ve all seen a gimmicky resume/portfolio come across our desks at one point. Hell, his isn’t the first alien themed portfolio I’ve seen. Or even the first persona built around a last name. My point is, this isn’t an out-of-the-box approach to advertising or grabbing agency’s attention. New/rising ad folks: We’ve done this already and we did it with grace. You want to enter the ad world? Know where the people hiring you raised the bar to when they were in your shoes, and at least meet us there.

Should I take a position as a junior designer when I ultimately want to be an art director or just wait for an opening for junior AD?

How many of you intensely dislike your clients? I don’t want to use the word hate, but intensely dislike is accurate for me. I’ve never experienced this to such an extent. I’ve always wanted to do great work for my clients even if some were difficult. I find myself not even wanting to speak to my current clients and… I am in an account management role.
