Been doing interviews lately for my first job. Is it common to work only on one account? Is it better to at work places where they give you an opportunity to work on multiple accounts so your book isn’t filled with work from 1 account?

It’s better for your mental health and development to work on as many accounts as possible.

I have mixed feelings about this. Really depends on the account and what you're doing for the account (plus the client). I'd prefer one amazing client who gives me a variety of projects where I dont get bored than work a bunch of random accounts where I feel like Im spinning my wheels.

Try to work on at least two accounts. Or, if you're interviewing for one account, see if the agency will let you work on other accounts as needs arise or if you have free time. It's best to work on multiple accounts especially early in your career so you don't get pigeonholed into being a creative who only does one type of brand work. Be as versatile as possible. Your future self will thank you.

Don’t go to a place that puts you on only one account for your first job and definitely don’t believe them if they tell you that there’s opportunity to switch around unless you hear it from mid level creatives and below working there. Sincerely, someone who worked on one account at their first and second job and is still trying to get out.

HR is scheduling the interviews without checking time with me. One interview was scheduled and then it was rescheduled to a different time at last minute. I wasn't available at that time so I mailed the HR for a different slot. They again scheduled it for a later date without checking the time with me.
