Any tips on how to make a less traditional background (stand-up comedy, screenwriting MFA, TV development) stand out as a positive when applying to JR. CW jobs & CW internships?

Hi! I just finished 7 interviews (including a project) with a midsize startup at the end of last week. I just got an email from HR asking to set up 5-10 minutes to “chat”. The tone of the email was very neutral — should I assume this is a rejection with feedback?

How is the interview process at Deloitte for a non-client facing role? How many rounds does it usually take before you get an offer?

Rolling off my current project in 1M. Had two projects I interviewed for, but the one I wanted (Project A; more cutting edge work) did not get back to me in time so I had to accept a position with Project B (which is a great team but not a challenging role / not where I want to grow my career) in order to not hit the bench. Now Project A has come back with a position, even if for the future. How can I quickly get to PrA w/o burning bridges with PrB folks? These are long term Fed contracts.

Will wipro stick to their commitment on expected CTC which was called out before 1st round of interview? I remember saying 24 fixed pay expected, however not sure if the recruiter heard it as 24 CTC.

Anyone here who have gone through the tech interview round with Mindtree on or around 19th November 2022 ?

Interview story: I was hired on the spot at an agreed upon verbal offer of $90,000. The partner told me to put in my two weeks notice. It’s a good thing that I did not do that l, as the company called me back the next day and informed me that they were lowering their offer to $75,000. Moral of the story: get it in writing.

Anyone submitted a passport during COVID? How long did it take from applying to receive?

Waiting after the last round is hard! Interviewed last Thursday with founder, HR sent a "More news early next week!" on Friday. And now it is Monday. Early counts Tuesday, too, right? They are on the West Coast.

So nerve-wrecking! 😬😬😬😬😬

Does anyone know if there are biglaw firms that are still looking at 1L fellowship candidates? Heard that some firms have already finished hiring for 1L SA/diversity fellowship positions and would like to focus on applying to places that actually have openings.

I have given my interview and the recruiter collected my documents, pay slips expected ctc etc. It has been 2 weeks already and my recruiter told me they're waiting for Oracle approval. How long does it generally take? Do they reject these approval requests often? Anybody attended interview in July or August have received offer letter?

Hi all!

I made to the final round interviews at Amazon for an account manager role. In my email, I saw that I have to do a case study, but I am having trouble with it. Anyone have any tips or@insight on how to ace this?

how are you all feeling about an org that is saying absolutely nothing about everything going on in the world. nothing about mental health awareness month, nothing about rowe v wade, nothing about inflation, etc but we are in the HR/Recruiting consulting realm and our clients are even asking us for guidance on these conversations . (yes, myself and others have also asked) I have been looking and interviewing elsewhere but looking on how you are all navigating having healthy conversations!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Do you guys tip your barber? I always tip, but my barber recently moved and the prices I am seeing is how much I usually pay + tip.

Any thoughts on Darden vs Fuqua?
I’ve been accepted to both. Not sure if i’ll recruit for consulting or corporate strategy, but both seem like good options for either.

Hey everyone,

I have a final interview for an AE position next week for a saas company. 30 min interview followed by role play. I’m pretty nervous even though I feel like i shouldn’t be but I’m just excited for the chance to finally move from my BDR position.

I’m just curious, do any of you have any tips or recommendations for either part on how I can knock out this interview? Appreciate any help

We moved into our house right before the pandemic, and since then I made friendships with 3 neighborhood moms. Recently I’ve noticed invitations and texts have slowed- it makes me wonder if something is up. I’m not sure what to do - is it awkward to ask if something is going on? All my other friendships are long and deep, so navigating newer friendships is not easy for me… but they’re neighbors and want these relationships to be on good footing… thx for advice!

Hi everyone! Recently got reached out to interview for a GP stakes analyst position. I find the space rather interesting, but am weary of the exit ops. I would want to go back to B-School in the next year/2 years and eventually transition to traditional PE. IMO the GP stakes position would be a good starting point into understanding investment trends among PE funds, as well as a better understanding the workings of the different departments of the LP (for a potential return). Thoughts?

You go-to books on copywriting?

As you can see from my title, I am new to the industry. And I feel like I often get stuck in a rut. Even with the simplest of briefs, I fumble for ideas and end up panicking quite a bit.

Would also love to hear your suggestions on how to go about this constant struggle for fresh ideas.

When you write, do you use pen and paper or your computer?

What’s the best creative idea you’ve had stoned? 💨💨

I was briefed to carry out a shoot but copy was not part of the assignment. The shoot turned out great—do I include it in my book, or no because there’s no copy?

Portfolio question: I want to update my book, which is on a 7 year old site and feels old design wise. The newer layouts are so design-rich they require bigger file sizes, but for a lot of my book pieces I have files that are small by today’s standards and look terrible in the new layouts. Any way to solve for this? Just stick with my old layouts? Am I overthinking, since I’m a writer and not a designer anyway?

Thoughts on MRY?

Any writers at digital agencies also feeling under appreciated and not respected? Thinking about returning to a traditional shop where people understand what a concept is and respect their writers.

What are the best agencies for first year copywriters?

Any places where an awarded CD Copy can go and make decent money, but truly be on a 40-hour week and not really high pressure environment? Not to be lazy or do poor work, but rather to apply a career of skills to a company that is happy to exchange said wisdom and skill with good pay and hours. Work can be boring, totally fine. Want to have time for hobbies and life. Some say pharma, but plenty others dispute this idea. Maybe a big bank? A university? Salesforce? Deloitte?

Am I'm too old for portfolio school? Are there any online? Should I even be considering it? I'm 35; I just went through my second career change, and I'm working full time at an agency.

May all our Art Directors be hard working, fun, easy collaborators today. Or...may they get swapped onto another project and we get someone better. 🙏🏼

Copywriter vs Content writer

When did the lines get blurred?

What do you call it? A copydeck, a copy doc, a manuscript, or something else?

How do you write a good headline?

CWs, how proficient are you in photoshop and id? I’ve always had a solid partner, but they have since been laid off so a lot of the comp work is now on my plate. Any good online classes to take? Thanks!
