Talk to your problem solving skills and resourcefulness. Your knowledge of the ins and outs of your clients' business. Highlight your ability to be a skilled communicator that can juggle multiple and complex projects/tasks at once. That you're able to see big picture and know where and how your responsibilities align with that.

Also, your ability to think strategically and how it can help you strategically look at the clients business, opportunities for growth for them, new projects, etc. good luck!!

AE1 has some good recos. For an AE level I look for a self-starter with passion. I need someone who can think on their feet and problem solve. They need to have experience managing multiple projects at once and demonstrate strong organizational skills. Highlight your ability to prioritize many things at once and any learnings you have applied to streamline process (on your team, in the agency, etc). If you have work that is detail oriented like status reports, R/F charts, competitive reviews or other critical operational responsibilities that you are responsible for — that is transferrable knowledge!! Last but not least, the most important piece to hopping to account-side is the ability to form strong relationships internally and with the client. Good luck!

Why would you leave planning for account, especially this early in your career?? Get ready for a lot more grunt work and managing the tiniest details no one wants to look at.

Dial up experience with internal client mgmt helps too! Ppl have to know you have good interpersonal skills.

Great advice by all - I would suggest focusing on your ability to engage clients in meaningful conversation and your own business acumen (translating client challenges to KPIs and guiding teams to deliver focused work against the brief).

Yes stay in planning!!

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)

TIA ♥️
