Are creative portfolios expected to show process (wireframes, iterations), or just polished final pieces? I saw a post recently on another bowl about how recruiters are asking for process in candidates' portfolios, and I've never been asked for that before. Is this a new standard?

I’ve seen processes like that for designers. It’s also good insight to see how you present your thinking and rationale for stuff

I’m seeing process become more of an expectation, especially for UX / product / senior roles. You don’t need a case study for every project, but having a few pieces where you show roughs, iterations, and your decisions can really help.

You don't have to have it available for every item in your portfolio, but it can be very useful for the hiring manager or recruiter to be able to understand and discuss your thought process behind your projects.

How early is it to early to take a week off ?? So I just started a new job a week ago.My office is really lenient and supportive of people traveling. But I still feel bad about it.

Started a new job search about 2 weeks ago. Of the 14 recruiter screening calls I’ve gone through, all went amazingly well, and I’ve only heard back at all from 4 since the calls. Why?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...
