ECDs, what are the top three qualities you look for when hiring a CD for your group? When reviewing the work at the portfolio link, but also during the interview.

Spark - Are they still hungry? Enthusiastic? Do they love advertising?
Positivity - Negativity is the worst quality in a tough job filled with rejection and opinion.
Smarts - Do they have a perspective on getting to amazing work? Do they have a philosophy? I barely care what it is - just that you are thinking critically about your job.
History - If you’ve not made great work yet you are probably not going to start. Will take risks on juniors and mids with potential but not on someone guiding the work.
Attitude - You need someone who is going to listen to and trust you. Do they respect you? Dissenters and shit talkers spread poison throughout a company and make your job way harder. Tension and pushback is more than ok at the right times.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
