I’m currently interviewing for Account Manager & Partnership Manager roles.

The interviewing game has got SO INTENSE with 6+ rounds including take-home assignments! It seems that they give you an assignment, then you present it in the next-to-final interview.

I’m a little intimated and rusty. I don’t even know what to expect.

What were your take-home assignments for Account Manager or Partnership Manager roles? What was the prompt?

Did you make a presentation from scratch?

I had an interview process just like this that I prepped for the take home assessment with a whole weekends time. They did about 5 interviews and didn’t do an offer. I made a presentation from scratch and it seemed really promising. At the end, they just sent an automated “unfortunately, we’re moving forward with another candidate”. Such a waste of MY time and energy, not worth it. They ended up going with someone internal I found out later

Ugh that sucks. I’m curious, what industry was it for and what was the assignment prompt?

From my understanding an acct manager has alot of reporting to do so to make sure you are up for the task they have you do a presentation. Dont want the data in a weird state to where is hard to understand

Made a presentation from scratch gave myself burn out juggling the assignment around my 9-6 job and then got let go after my 3 month probation for working too hard. I think when the interview process is too intense you expect the job to be and give it your all from a fear mindset instead of having a relatively easy job interview where you feel valued and they slowly increase the workload

Bro nah. Run away from that company. Red flag if they’re making you do all that

Hello Fam Law attys!

I am in my second year as a attorney, I was a FL paralegal before law school and would eventually like to end up there again. I am in a very small rural area, pretty much only solos, and no FL solos appear to be hiring/expanding at this time.

Do you think experience as a DA or PD would be valuable, with my eye toward a future in FL? Both for the skills gained, and/or as a resume piece?

TY!

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
