Hi everyone! I’m currently a strategist at an NYC agency and planning on looking for a new job doing basically the same thing but at a different agency at the start of 2025. This is my first job out of college and I’ve been here for a little over 2 years. Any tips on writing my resume? How can I show the value I added to each account I was on? It’s my first time writing a resume for an agency role so any tips would be appreciated! Ty!

At 2 years I’m not expecting a ton of output. Have one or two good examples of work you contributed to and be honest about your role. Being able to speak to process and improve is key.

I do want to see evidence that you can deliver on the basics day 1. Research decks, pitch contributions, any IAT work, analytics or data literacy.

Hey there OP. I know this is a very challenging time to be looking for a new job. It seems like it is very hard to find something when you have no experience. I would definitely recommend networking and trying to get referrals to help you get your foot in the door somewhere.

The worrying/anxiety multiplies when I proceeded further in the interview stages. Now that I signed the offer and is pending background checks, my anxiety is off the roof as it itches closer to my starting date.

I am currently going through an interview process and one of the seven interviews is with someone I may be managing if I get this job. I actually love this idea and I look forward to learning from him/her. Has anyone gone through a similar interview before? What kind of questions were you asked? I’m assuming it’s more of a meet and greet with a mix of leadership related questions.
