Aptitude. I prefer a candidate who can intuit things quickly, or understand complicated things when I explain them, and explain complicated things to me. Even if they get all the questions wrong, if they show that they're interested in learning things - or for instance, they use something I taught them early in the interview to inform an answer to a later question, then I'll rate them highly.

Why is it some companies make you reapply to a role when you’re towards the end of the interview process?

1) What is your response when asked what makes you stand out as a candidate in a job interview?

2) how do you highlight other skills that may not otherwise look transferable on paper?

3) how do you combat what seems like “lack of experience” or being “too junior” for the role?

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence
