Is it normal to have to make a presentation in the interview process for a senior AD role? Anyone else had to do it? What was your experience?

I did it once a while back for a junior job. They didn’t tell me I had to before. Then they gathered everyone into the conference room and made me present my 2 favorite pieces from my book. I thought it was strange. But I haven’t had to do it again for any other job. One place recently told me they give out “take Home test” briefs and have you present it in person at the interview

I had to do a whole spec campaign for a round of interviews and presented it to all of the CDs+ at the agency. I guess it was to judge thought and presentation skills for client-facing stuff, but at least I got the job.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.

Feeling that I never land an offer from Google. I have tried many times and in my last try, I passed phone screening but recruiter ghosted me...
I am not sure what is wrong...
When I apply with referral, my resume always pass screening and shared with managers. But then no response.
When I get feedback on my resume and experience, people always mention "impressive". I feel desperate...Being in less challenging role at Amazon makes everything worse.
