I was asked to share scopes i had written for past clients and some other documentation I wasn't comfortable sharing. In the interview, I said I had to make sure this didn't violate the terms of my ndas (current and past but still valid at that time), and I followed up, saying that I didn't feel comfortable breaking the terms of these ndas to share this documentation. I did share a couple of super innocuous docs that showed the kind of thoroughness and thinking they were looking for from a senior producer, and I still got the job.

As part of an interview process, an agency asked me to create a deck with two different big ideas and 360 campaigns for one of their current clients. By that point I didn't even want to work with them so I threw together some half-assed ideas and walked away.
