For recruiters and Creative Directors!
What is ONE major decision factor when interviewing an Art Director? What are some "turn offs?"

Would love answers about copywriters too!

From the recruiter’s corner... Major turn-off is coming through with a mindset that you’re too good to do (or “so over”) the “Junior stuff”, or meeting the bare minimum on assignments. That’s not to say that we don’t have Juniors KILLING it with ideas and taking on some bigger roles, but they’re also earning their stripes, and not huffing & puffing about it (usually by going way above & beyond, as mentioned earlier).

Also, during the interview process, I think a nicely written thank you note goes a long way. 🥰

Question. How do you maintain contact with recruiters without making the connection cold overtime ? Like do we send an interesting article we saw that they would be interested? I mean I doubt they read it, but at the end of day we’re just trying to stay in contact because we want a job when a position open up.

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him.

I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?
