Hi Guys,
Can anyone refer me to BCG
TIA
I'm looking for work as a Credit Controller. Preferably remote or hybrid with a lot of flexibility. I've been working remotely for the last 1.5 years and would like to continue that. I have 8.5 years of experience as a Credit Controller in B2B set up. I'm based in England but happy to work in any country :) JPMorgan Chase Citi Wells Fargo Deloitte Accenture Amazon Tata Consultancy Infosys Morgan Stanley

I would say that detaching yourself from the work isn’t the solution—it’s detaching from the idea that you and your work are the same thing. Just because a CD wasn’t wowed by a round of work doesn’t mean they’re disappointed in you personally. It can feel like that, sure, but a good CD will see a round of “unwowing” work as a chance to teach, and you can use it as a chance to show your willingness and eagerness to learn. I’ve been a CD/GCD a long time and I can tell you the creatives I know and respect the most are ones i know as people, not as concept factories. One of my very best creative teams…I remember what got them a Lion, but I can’t recall specific times they wowed me or didn’t wow me in a presentation. I’ve been continually wowed by them as creative people—not by the creative they produce.
Easier said than done, I know…but twenty plus years of this has gotten me to this point. You are not your work. Your work is not you.
This is a really helpful response!
We aren’t idea robots here to just poop out concepts, the personal side matters just as much and what people will probably remember the most. I also need to be more realistic not every round will be perfect sometimes it just doesn’t click and that’s ok. I take a lot of pride in bringing unexpected thinking to the table and I think most of my CDs have noticed that—even when it doesn’t always hit.
