And Juul addiction

Went through it a couple of months ago and it was pretty straight forward, try to be as creative as you can. If you have been doing cases and doing well you'll be fine. They wont give you any feedback and you will not be able to tell what they think of you. Just wait for the recruiter to let you know how you did. It is going to go very quick as well so be prepared for that.

I heard it was interviewer-led but the level of autonomy I have to come to my own conclusions/lead the convo depends on the interviewer. Did you feel like there was a strict structure to questions asked?

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
