Been a minute since I had to interview. I have my first calls tomorrow. One with a recruiter for a company then another just into chat with a creative lead for another company. Any fellow creatives have tips for interviewing in today’s landscape? Thanks!

I found it helpful to ask chatgpt what questions will be asked for the role at the new company.

I’d also add that you should have AI scan the job description to hone your elevator pitch to focus on the things the employer is looking for. Also scan your resume to develop further talking points and strengths.

C1 and AS1 already posted what I was going to say, so I’m just wishing you good luck!

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
