Hey guys. I have been applying to Amex for the past 1 year. Tried applying on the portal, through referrals and even hr consultants reached me regarding the roles since I have a relevant profile. But not once have I been shortlisted or called for an interview. What could be the problem?
PS: I have gotten calls from every other company for the same profile but not amex. Can't be a problem with the profile. Seems something dicey which I'm not aware of.American Express
As an ADC applying this summer for 2022 start, I haven’t gotten a chance to connect with any L.E.K. Consulting members and I really want to get to know the company better before moving on with my application. Any L.E.K. Consulting fish out there willing to spare a few minutes to chat about their work, the company, the culture etc? Thanks!

I’ll be honest if you don’t mind.
I think I dislike comms planning because of how the work is delivered, how unsurprising it is, etc. it’s often boring, straightforward, and detailed - perfect for an email or PowerPoint to review, but just a waste of my time to sit in a meeting on since I can read.
It’s also lacking in rigor and is often simplistic compared to the work being done in experience design/UX.
The best ones I’ve see just show how the campaign will work without a whole additional set of frameworks and strategies attached

Lol at this question
Problem at my agency is a lack of clarity around both.

@SD1 - I think you are referring to media planning? Often “Comms Planning” is simply media planning given a fancy name. I’d love to hear your honest opinion on how experience design interacts with brand planning as I think that’s really what OP is asking.
As a comms/engagement planner that has worked on agency-side, client-side, and freelance, my current agency has no idea what to do with me. I've had the most success educating brand and media counterparts on what I do but account has a hard time figuring out where I fit in their existing process and CDs will dictate their own creative exploration separate from positioning research that you do
