Had an informational interview at my dream agency. They said they liked me but didn't have anything open at the moment. What's the best way to stay on their radar for future opportunities?

Either crop dust the CCO’s office or send thank you’s to everyone you met with that include a line about staying in touch regarding future opps... if they like you you’ll be put on a shortlist for Jr. roles next time one comes up.

Send a written thank you note and keep the agency on your radar via Linkedin, news, etc. that way you have talking points later on when you would like to check in with them. New business is always a good item to keep a temperature reading on regardless!

When I was a fresh ad grad I went through the same thing. I did all of those things and 4 years later I have the exact job that I wanted. It took some time, but I’m glad I kept checking in!

Art director and fingerpaint have good advice. A mix of both at different times are good.

Medals my dude.

Been at a “top 5” agency for 2 years now and haven’t produced a single piece of work that I feel is book worthy. Granted, there is the whole global pandemic thing. But at what point do you start looking for a new job? Is 2 years long enough to at least get some cred for the name on the resume, despite not making anything great?

Went through multi-day loop for L5 SA and felt confident in my interactions. Presentation went well with no lack of answers for follow up questions. Just found out 6 days later I will not be receiving an offer, and it is policy to not provide feedback of gaps or reasons behind no offer. Also found out they ask you not to reapply for 1 to 2 years for same role. Would anyone recommend an alternate path for feedback on interview (outside of recruiter) and is the 1-2 year policy true?

Out of curiosity. How would a company view a potential candidate who has a period of unemployment to study for the CPA. I am considering to start studying for the exam but I know I would need to leave my employer in order to give 110%. I am contemplating the idea of at least passing one part while employed. Then leaving my employer to study FAR. I am considering to leave my current employer anyways, so it’s more of how my future employer would view that lapse.
