Is there such thing as too much ass kissing in a job interview? Or everyone likes for the interviewee to do their research and act like they would really like to work for the company and the creative director they are interviewing with?

If I kiss ass, I feel I direct it more towards the agency. Maybe too much though. I find myself maybe going on and on too much.

I’ve yet to interview with CDs who I’ve been following for a while. Plenty who’s work I really like though. I usually point out something I really like from their books. That’s just me though.

Yes.

I think yes. Don’t want to come off as smarmy

A difference without distinction.

I wasn’t being disingenuous. I was just excited and wanted to let the CDs know that I respect them and their work and the company.

A little goes a long way. And yes, it helps build rapport.

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

Follow up etiquette help needed! I am expecting a job offer at firm one next week or so. I am into the final phases at firm two.

Thanks!

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

Heyy people,

Couldn't attend this interview at PwC due to last minute technical difficulties. I requested HR to reschedule it. She said it's not possible this week and she'll try her best for the next week. I am really tensed, I don't want to throw away this opportunity. I was really looking forward for the interview. Would they really reschedule my interview?

I have applied to many jobs these past 3 months. Any tips or suggestions would help to improve my resume. I also want to transition to product design, but zero entry level product design jobs available.
