How is Novartis account in Accenture?
Hi Fishes, I've accepted offer from Accenture from their portal.. But now got new offer from EY and wants to join at EY. So how can I tell Accenture Accenture India that I'm not going to join them. Rather than not showing up on the date of joining? Can you please guide me? How do I let them know? My talent coach is not reachable

Fight for your ideas in your portfolio. Be proud of them and articulate why they’re good. Being confident that your creative opinion is valid is mostly what the job is .
Also don’t be too formal. Just relax, if you don’t get it you’ll figure it out. They’re missing out.
Good luck.
Thank you!
Be confident, engaged, ask questions and be interesting. At junior level portfolios can be a bit thin so we’re looking for someone with a great attitude and hunger to do great work. At that level also I’m often impressed with people who feel creatively curious, people who are into culture, art, side projects and passions. It can make you stand out. Good luck.
Thanks!
A lot of not getting hired has to do with external reasons (which you have little to no control over) that it's not worth overthinking about.
Don't take the rejection personally and move on.
Just put yourself out there, have a positive attitude, keep trying to improve and something will stick eventually. Best of luck.
Thank you!
They could be keeping options open as they talk to a number of candidates at the same time. Then out of the blue someone who the person knows from the past appears and they get hired or someone comes highly recommended. Past those two things it comes down to how immediate the need is to hire and can they make do with freelance or overworking people for now. Something I always did earlier in my career when I didn’t know anyone was keep up to date with strategy magazine to see where big accounts were being won. When an agency wins a big account they need to staff up. If you really want to work somewhere specific you can customize your portfolio application to really stand out and do something clever, never hurts to stand out. And for any questions to prepare for, I would prepare your own questions for the kind of work the agency wants to do or any creative pursuits the creative director has outside of work or the CD’s favourite piece of creative they’ve seen this year (and have an answer ready for that too). It’s great when a junior creative has lots of questions about the agency too.
Thank you very much for the advice!
