I'm dying to get into Ogilvy but I feel like they might be averse to how social heavy my book is (although I do have a really good client roster/celeb + shoot experience/etc). Any ins/tips?

Social is where it’s at. I’ve written and produced 4 Super Bowl spots among dozens of well received tv campaigns and no one is interested. If only I had a decent social piece in my book. You’ll be fine. Apply.

They actually are building their social department. So you’d have to apply to Ogilvy PRSI.

Hi everyone,
I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation. In my current company stuck in a project where there's no learning scope, no growth and work culture is toxic. Now I'm only going through Trailhead, YouTube playlist videos and practicing hands on in my free personal org. Are these enough to crack interviews or not? I don't have real-time project experience.
