I’m currently interviewing and there’s something about the CCO that I’m getting a bad feeling about. But everyone says he’s great. Maybe I’m crazy?

Have you met the potential creative director or manager and you partner/team? I do interact with my full teams but less regularly than the creative directors

As an art director, I don’t believe you’ll deal with your CCO on a daily basis. If you like your team, go with it. You should be more thorough with your direct managers. They’ll have to deal with him.

NNormally I would say, go with your gut. But if everybody says he is a great guy, he probably is because you can’t keep a secret in this business.

Also, I ❤️ my CCO

Trust your gut and you will always be happier. While you may not deal with the CCO on a daily basis if you got bad feelings from just meeting them means it will probably only get worse if you take the job. If you don’t like or don’t trust the top Creative at a shop then you will not have a great experience.

Hi! I interviewed for a Digital Marketing Analyst for an agency for Data Center and Telecom PR/ Tech. Since we are virtual country wide, he asked what my salary requirement would be for this role. I haven’t had this type of position before and am unsure what to say. I want to reach for the stars but don’t want to come across with a scary offer. Can anyone advise or have any salary ranges? No info on Glassdoor for salaries at the company! I will be living near the SF Bay Area.

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?

I don't do well with panel interviews and I'm hoping they look past that and check my references.
