If I’m interviewing for a cd position but have never managed any creatives yet, how do I talk about being ready? I’ve managed entire shoots with my partner, given editors, directors, producers direction, etc. I’ve just always worked on lean places where acds do all the work?!

Have you had more jr creatives work on your projects? Like social part of a campaign. Helping out and where you gave guidance. That counts. Also I wouldn’t worry too much about it, they know you are an ACD.

Think back to your experiences being managed, both good and bad. What worked and didn’t? Take those into account and start considering what kind of manager you’d like to be. If asked in an interview, you can reference those experiences and say here’s what I’ve learned in the past and how I want to manage going forward. That makes it clear you’re proactively thinking about it.

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
