Do hiring managers in advertising consider stints in small boutique shops as strong experience, or do prestige and client size dominate? I personally think so much more effort and thought goes in when you feel like a small team that still has to make big things happen. Just curious if that mindset is shared amongst hiring personnel..

I think it depends on the agency and how they view the design function within their company. If they strongly emphasize good design, and have standalone design projects (ie branding and identity work, etc.), they will probably appreciate someone coming from a smaller studio who truly understands and appreciates craft. If the agency sees design as a service to advertising (corporate design), they may value someone who has worked on large, high-volume corporate clients and can keep pace.

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...

I’ve noticed that HR, when explaining why a candidate didn’t get the job, tend to lean on “You’re great, but we had candidates with more experience in [skill relevant to the job].” I do believe this is true in some cases, but it can’t possibly be for all of them.

HR folks — what feedback have you obscured by offering that line instead?

I have been interviewing since May, but I can’t seem to find a good fit that has an insurance Plan that fits my needs.

They told me there would be when I left…what is the best way to go about this?
