Failed an interview & I remembered the interviewer asking me “list 5 items for XYZ” and I responded with more than 5 and I mentioned “I can go on & on”. Is this considered arrogance?

Not necessarily, but if you didn’t list the most important/relevant things for “items for XYZ” first, it shows you aren’t structured/prioritizing

It might be too presumptive this question is the one that took you down. But if this was in context about talking about positive attributes of yourself, I’d consider it too much.

Sounds like you need to build some self awareness. You should be able to read the room and gauge if what you said was appropriate.

That question means pick 5 important items. Listing on and on means you didn’t understand the question or scope.

Not necessarily, it depends more on the tone in which you said it.

What kinda interview is this ? Sounds like an exam

Wasn’t meant to be!

I completed my interview loop at Google on August 12, 2022.

I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
