Serious answer: be conscious of your listening skills. This can be amplified over the phone since you can't pick up on visual cues they're about to speak. Nothing more awkward than interrupting each other. Answer a question and pause. Ask a question and pause.

You'll do great. Just think of whoever you most admire in the business, someone who's work motivates you, and remember they were in same boat once. We've all been there. Agree with SC1 on how phone interviews can make it more awkward.

Use this time to interview them as well. Have some questions ready to go. This shows you're thoughtful but also gives an opportunity to scope out the agency a bit.

Have "your story" ready to go. How you got to where you are, what you're looking for. Think about how to best spin your experience and how you want to position yourself. Practice and get it tight and natural sounding. Good luck!

Starting us off with an important tip: Your resume is a marketing document, not an autobiography. It should include relevant jobs, responsibilities, and perhaps most importantly, achievements. Where you can quantify an accomplishment or just talk up a major project you led at work or in an internship, do so. The point is to make the hiring manager think, “Wow, I need to talk to this person! They seem like a good fit!”

🐠, need opinions/advice. Persistent recruiter asked me to consider having an exploratory convo with a company for a VP role even though I’m not looking to make a switch.
