I interviewed for a job I really want with a couple of creative directors. They told me to feel free to email them with any questions, is that a good sign? Secondly, should I hit them up a week and a half later or would they have already made their mind up by then?

Be sure to email them your thank you notes if you haven’t already.

Definitely don’t worry about them making up their minds in a week. Agencies are notoriously slow.

I don’t know that it’s a good sign or not, but sending them an email with questions, showing your interest is never a bad thing.

Definitely send a thank you note now, then follow up in 2 weeks. These things can take a long time sometimes so be patient

Yes send thank you notes, keep it short and sweet and tailored for each person. And don’t be discouraged if you don’t get replies to your thank you notes... Some shops have a weird policy about replying to candidates emails because it may imply bias etc.

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
