Hi! I have an interview coming up that includes a mid-interview writing assessment. I'm wondering what to expect from this and would love to hear if anyone else has gone through this sort of assessment and could shed some light (I know they're typically assigned as a take-home task and not as something to be done on-the-spot). I'm most interested in finding out if the interviewer will leave me with the assessment and then reconvene or if they will be following along with my work in real time.

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you

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?
