Should I just list the relevant projects instead of saying I have 10 years experience as a Senior Producer or Executive producer on my resume?

Hi,
My current company is going out of business next week. I am rushing to get my next job lined up (probably won’t happen in time but I’m trying my best). My question is: should I be honest about why I’m looking for a new job? Is it wrong to not share this info during my interviews? Is this situation going to affect my interview process somehow? Please share your thoughts and wisdom! Thanks!

Utilization may be my least favorite thing about Deloitte. It makes life challenging if you're stringing together a bunch of short-term, yet interesting, projects.

QS Filled the last daily gap - may be a good entry technically.

As a Creative, do you prefer voice or video for initial project discussions with vendors? How do you feel about follow-up video conferences to go through vendor treatments?

I wish I had more faith in myself.

How has the freelance market been for creatives as of late? Is it getting better? I’m getting no bites. I’m in NYC.

Thoughts on FCB'S "Bullyhunters" dumpster fire?

Ever have parents who thought a career as a creative wasn't work because it didn't fit their view of work--or guilt trip for creating spec work between jobs wasn't work if you don't get paid for it?🙄

I am beyond stuck in my first 1.5 years of my career.

I was over promised opportunities at my first gig and then Covid hit. Leading me to have no portfolio worthy pieces from this 💩 agency with nothing great in sight. (place hasn’t won a pitch in my entire time here + lost clients)

I’m juggling re-vamping my site and a side project to hopefully make my book more robust.

With no kind of leadership or mentor, I’m just figuring out how to dig myself out of this hole. Any advice for this chump?

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

Ever see your rejected ideas win Grand Prix by other creatives? Seen it more than twice?

I hated the Cheetos ad when I saw it last week until I saw all the other ads that came before it today :/

Doesn’t everyone think they’re above average or are there people who actually think that they’re not as good as others? (Specifically in terms of advertising and for creatives)

Okay so for the longest time I thought that everyone thinks like me. (Bad mistake, I know). But a few posts on here have really made me think. So I’d love to know what everyone thinks.

How do I ask for a role change? I currently work as a designer for a company and when I have down time I work on social media for the company. Social media doesn’t seem to be a huge focus at the moment but there is a lot of potential in the industry. How do I go about asking to run social media full time instead?

Pre and post production routines/tips/etc? Ive always worked with my CD on productions, but going into my first solo. Any tips? Thank you!

Any book recos for creative leadership? I’m new to overseeing other creatives and would love to be good at it.

My book is just spec and side projects. I’m trying to get a new junior-to-mid role because I’ve gotten nothing good produced where I’m at, and I have zero faith this will change if I stick around.

I’m asked for work samples from recruiters and CDs even though I make clear that what I’ve done doesn’t reflect who I am as a creative. Think CRM/DM/B2B stuff. They insist on it, and I never hear back afterwards.

Not sure what to do. Almost feel like I’d be better off erasing my agency experience.

I’ve always been comfortable concepting and writing. But when it comes to nitty gritty logistical stuff, I struggle. Like the discussions about aspect ratios, social post timelines, and the nuances of Facebook collection ads.

Can any other writers relate?

I’m essentially partners with a creative director. If we wanted to run off together to another agency, would we be able to go as partners? Or does my title & small experience sample hamstring us both?
