Please do not do this
Why would you ask this?
I’ve worked at places where I had too much downtime and always asked for more things to do. Questioned why I was hired.
I know this sucks and is selfish of me but I hate my current spot, so when I’m slow I’m not raising my hand for anything. I’m at the poorest run agency I’ve been at, and the creative dept gets dumped on every step of the way. So sorry, not sorry.

Never ask that question if you want a job. And I mean, any job. Period.
I went though a lot of slow periods at my last place. I always reached out for more work and networked with CDs on other accounts to toss out proactive ideas. Unfortunately, I was solo in most of these pursuits.
It took years for anything to come of that proactivity. But it eventually got me on a good brief with another client. Got a decent book piece out of it.
