Be prepared that their main concern will be your ability to concept campaigns.

Have solid conceptual work in your book and be able to talk about how you got to it. If you have none of that work in your book, try to come off genuinely interested in learning how to get stronger conceptually.

Good luck! YOU CAN DO IT

thank you!!

Say that you love the aesthetic side of the business but you’re also passionate about the conceptual side too. As you become a more experienced thinker, your point of difference will be that you’ll be an art director with a strong design sense (and design is now more important in advertising than it’s ever been)

Phew! I feel like hiring you now.

So glad I impressed you! This job is actually brand side but I think the same thing applies.

Anyone work as or been offered a position for an associate product engineer at Target Corporation? The Glassdoor salaries are way higher than my offer and I’m trying to determine what is accurate.

If 2+ people submit a referral on your behalf at their company for a position you recently applied for, does it make you stand out even more/increase your chances of getting an interview vs. just 1?

I'm in Silicon Valley, and been in the industry for about 15 years now. Fell into the corporate in-house role and been in those ever since. I primarily do marketing/brand design. I'd love to get to AD level, but I think my main issues has been that I rock the boat a lot and don't play the "corporate game well", piss off the wrong people. Does anyone have any advise for how to advance in corporate environement while keeping the integrity of creative alive?

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people.

I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..
