As a recruiter, would you be more impressed by a candidate who has a lot of awards to showcase or someone who has worked for a versatile range of brands? I don’t have a Cannes‑heavy book, but I’ve shipped a lot of real work that performed well.

It really depends on the role. I believe in striking a balance, practical work is important, but so is the ability to clearly demonstrate your skills and results.

I have received an offer from a company and I'm in the second stage of interviews with another company. I am very interested to see if I could make it through for the second company.

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??
