Agency producer here. I have an interview with an in-house agency tomorrow and I’m trying to prep myself/anticipate questions that the Exec Producer will ask. Any sample questions you guys can think of? I feel so rusty, it’s been over 5 years since I’ve interviewed anywhere. Very much appreciated!

I think the more important questions are the ones you will ask them. Does the in-house agency get to do the good work, or does that get sent to the AOR? Who are the creatives in house and what is their experience like? What is their process like working directly with the marketing department and CEO rather than being removed from it a step, does the in-house agency feel as though they can be honest and push back or will the “Clients“ drive things more than they would if they had an agency?

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

We do have a lawyer that we can meet with but they're also not an expert and turnarounds are always very long so not as helpful as I'd hoped.
