Lollllll I interviewed for a job on this account at BBDO several years ago, and when I asked them why the role was open, they said “the last account director cried too much on calls with our mean clients”

I have never word with Exxon, but they were a large account at McCann when I worked there, and I don’t remember the clients being especially difficult.

Correct!

I currently work for Exxon and have them as a client. We are a virtual sales team for them. I work with the dIstributors/PVL side, it’s really not bad and they have great people there that are super helpful! I really enjoy it & if you are into lubes and that’s your passion, I think you’ll be happy.

Yeah, they are dealing with a lot of allocation / supply chain issues right now, however things are looking better for the future. Focus on the fact that you’ll build great relationships, ensure that customers feel taken care of when there is problem getting the product, so that when the issues are resolved you are in a prime place relationship ship wise to sell the crap out of it. That may or may not be relevant to your position but hope it helps!

I was told I was the top candidate for a role after final rounds, but the role was impacted by the hiring freeze. Since then I’ve reached out to the recruiter but haven’t gotten any response (been almost 3 months). I saw a posting recently for another role that would be a good fit - should I reach out to the recruiter if I plan on applying?

I was moved to this role about 2 years ago and soon looking to jump to another company, but unsure of what to focus on talking about.
