Hey, Fishies! We’re launching our first Interview/Q+A series "Portfolio Rewind: Would You Hire You?"
Like a portfolio review in reverse, creative leaders will share work they created when they first started out and critique it as if were a book that had just landed in their inbox. Then, tell us if they’d hire their younger selves knowing, and expecting, what they do now.
Drop in for get the chance to ask questions, and get your book reviewed by our guest. Hope you can make it!

I keep it real and tell people I'm excited about that I researched them. It's expected and they'll like it usually.
Exactly. It's less weird if you just say outright that it's a thing you like to do. People will be flattered that you looked them up more than anything.
If you just casually drop where they went to school without acknowledging how you know then that comes across as creepy.
It’s a modern resume. If this is an interview I’d think it’s appropriate that the interviewer took the time to do a little research on you.
Sure. I think that’s fine too
If I was on a first date I’d find it creepy. If I was interviewing someone I’d be impressed they took the time to research my work.
Fair game
Totally acceptable!
This question is a little weird tbh.
Its only weird when they find out you hooked up with their friend through mutual connections
Not weird! Shows that you researched the role and team
Agree. Be upfront
