Speak only when spoken to. Do not make eye contact. Eat garlic during he interview. Wear at least two hats. End every sentence with a giggle. You should be good.

Well, that would be like any other interaction with a person you're interested in receiving something from or gaining their favor. Take cues from their behavior and energy. Do not interrupt them while they talk. They might interrupt you if you talk too much. Good senior people are usually good at getting the point faster + are usually too busy to listen to long drawn stuff and will take charge of interrupting themselves. So if you know you're verbose, just be cognizant of that as you already are and try to be concise.

In a special twist of events, I was interviewed, hired, and reported to CEO directly at last job. Be prepared like any other interview and be normal/not timid.

Nothing really, just your level of questions

Also, just be yourself. Be personable and be prepared. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks AD1 - I'm not worried about being timid - i am generally quite verbose - which worries me as some people really take to it whereas others do not

I've met your CEO. Tall French guy? He's great. Personable and really listens. Seems genuinely interested in what other people has to say. Ask things that you are genuinely curious about re: the work and his experience. Don't be intimidated but yea, be succinct with your points. And don't be shy to tell him what you know, which must be decent given the opportunity. Take it as an opportunity to learn.

Thanks starcom 1 - great advice

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
