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.

Hi Fishes,

My HR round in HCL completed 2 weeks back. But there is no response from HR for my calls mails. When I can expect the offer letter? is this delay is common nowadays or only for me??

I’ve worked at the same well known tech company since I graduated school 8 years ago. I’ve been promoted 3 times so I’ve held a few different jobs within my org.

BUT .. I’ve applied to a few companies and getting no responses. Is it a deterrent for hiring managers/recruiters that my experience is based primarily at one company?
