If we won a pitch but my partner and I didn’t write the big spots, but still got some ideas here and there for the direction that got chosen, what’s the most favorable way I can describe this victory for myself without being too dishonest?

The way you just described it seems pretty on point. Be honest that you supported the big thinking with xyz idea. You won’t always be starting campaigns from scratch throughout your career, so this shows you know how to give an existing idea more legs.

Just channel your inner m CCO and take credit for the whole thing.

Perhaps you share a short clip of the spot that includes your contribution and not the whole thing. Make it very clear in the write ups that your supported/contributed and not created/wrote.

By being honest? Stating what you did.

Were the spots produced? Or any of the pitch work?

Just say you were part of the team that won the business. Advertising is filled with charlatans and liars. Don’t sweat it too much.

What has your experience been with new job offers and counter offers from current employers? In my opinion, if I’m looking to leave it is because I’m unhappy and excited about the new role I’ve been offered. I’ve never been interested in a counter offer and it seems like it would ruin relationships with both employers. Interested to hear others opinions!

I currently have my EAD based on my OPT with an addition 2 year renewal. I have also submitted a marriage based GC application in Nov 2021, did my biometrics currently waiting on my interview. I have an offer from a tech company and want to leave my current employer. I am worried if I tell my upcoming employer about being currently on OPT they will freak out and take back their offer even doh I can work and don’t need their sponsorship.

Do I have to tell ? Has anyone experience this before?
