I have a business ( for the last 2 years) with several clients/small businesses for which I do freelance work. My work is ongoing and on a rotation based on their needs and sometimes overlaps. I am interviewing for a full-time staff gig at a big agency. And I am not comfortable sharing my client's contact info for work history. Is that going to be a major issues if I don’t share client’s info? Is that something they would typically ask to check your work history?

I’ve always been comfortable concepting and writing. But when it comes to nitty gritty logistical stuff, I struggle. Like the discussions about aspect ratios, social post timelines, and the nuances of Facebook collection ads.

Can any other writers relate?

Can someone explain how billable hours work?

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
