Jr creatives are often (and rightly so) advised to disclose their role on projects they put in their book. Meanwhile, CDs put stuff on their book that other teams concepted, designed, produced without giving proper credit.

I was just low key questioned by a coworker what my role was on a project that I did everything myself because they found it on my former CD book.

Don’t sweat it. You don’t need to put the credits on your book or justify it. It’s clear if you had a role on it or not just by the context, your other projects and even your own way to talk or discuss the work. Obviously a CD that oversaw the work will put it on her/his book if it’s good, that does not mean you didn’t have a relevant or even crucial job on it.

ECD1, you are one of the good ones. All great advice. And OP for what it’s worth, I don’t have credits in my book, but I also have only put in projects that I was the sole team with the concept and carried through the production. In interviews I’m always happy to talk about the process and team dynamic of how we all brought it to life.

That is a fantastic point I need time to process

First, you should feel good about the fact that you’ve done kick ass work that a CD wants to have in their book. Second, don’t worry about it much. You have it in your book, and if and when someone asks, you’re more than happy to talk about what you did. Unfortunately in our industry many people steal work. It’s nasty, but also, while sometimes it’s hard to do anything about it, let it make you feel good. It’s as if someone wishes they did that work. So take it like a compliment and keep doing awesome work.

Also, the expectation is very different for a CD. When I am hiring CD level people, of course I want to know that they have talent, but I am much more concerned with their ability to direct teams and nurture talent.

As you said, the CD was pretty involved. I’d ask him about how he led the team and what he did to guide the work (and develop you as a talent). I’d ask you much more about the work itself.

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

I’m currently on the hunt for a new job and I’m feeling really utterly defeated.

I’m not sure if I’m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, I’m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience?

But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

Do you ever marvel how some people take themselves so seriously? "Look at me doing my critical work for my major client, we are solving their serious problems very seriously"
