Embrace it. Being under the microscope always sucks. Getting a few interviews in place before the interview you really want will help you to catch your stride. I have left interviews thinking I bombed them and ended up getting an offer.

Shine. Be natural and honest. Loosen up by opening up about your interests... sometimes this is what gets you the job over your portfolio.

Have interviewed a couple of people from WK over the past few weeks and have been hearing a lot about how it’s becoming a pretty horrible place to work since Susan came onboard. The criticism was more around actually working there than the work itself but is it really that bad? One of the candidates was saying that many of the good creatives have been leaving or are planning to leave because of this. I haven’t ever worked for Susan so I have no clue. Anyone heard anything similar?
