Is it a smart idea to interview with random companies a couple times a year to stay sharp? Or am I potentially burning bridges for no reason?

You're either a genius or insane op, I love it. If you aren't looking for an exit it's likely a waste of time. There are other ways to improve speaking skills, story telling, pitching etc...

I don't think the effort you'd be putting in would be worth the value of extra interview practice.

I appreciate the perspective! I’m getting ready for full-time interviews and jumped to the closest simulation I could think of, might be time to take some steps back.

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company.

I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?

Typical media agency interview questions? Ones outsiders may not think to prep for? (Beyond strengths/weaknesses/ tell me about yourself/ why you’re a good fit, etc)
