If I’m being honest it’s all the cliches you hear in advertising. Show your passion and hunger to grow and desire to make an impact. If you’ve gotten an interview it means we like your work.

I mean… probably avoid if you can? There’s going to be mass layoffs when they inevitably get merged into TBWA next year.

@creative they’re hiring now because they’re not dead yet. They have org charts to fill and deadlines to meet.

But also SLT is playing the self-preservation game. When the cuts do come, last one in is always the first one out.

In the meantime they have to at least pretend to be healthy and give the impression there’s nothing to worry about.

IMHO any IPG brand that’s hiring is being dishonest. It’s common (and public) knowledge that Omnicom is going to collapse companies across the line, in North America and worldwide.

Look at all their recent work beforehand and then compliment it a lot during the interview. Also, look at Jordan’s recent work from her previous agencies and compliment that too. That’s usually your golden ticket into an agency.

Depends on who the person in front of you will be.

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

In initial screening HR told the generic statement of 30-40% and I have given my ask as 50% minimum. After clearing the rounds I heard from the project team that Client has given great feedback and wanted to take me in .
What is the % I can ask in HR Discussion and will they reject in HR if I ask more now .

Morning all. I am looking for a favour/solid advice. I've been in the interview process for a dream role over the past month or so and just found out I didn't get the job after final round 🙃.

Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened during the past year searching. Looking for a SC level role within healthcare/public sector consulting firm. I know the job scene is a bit miserable currently but if anyone in the bowl is aware of a role I would love to have a chat.

Thanks all
