Lee Clow visited me in my dream last night...

I'm wondering, at an interview, when they ask if you have any questions for them, what should you ask? I never know.

Sooo... am I hired?

Use this question as a way to exhibit the fact that you’ve done some deep diving into the agency.

E.G., “a few years ago you guys did some work for Xxx that won a few awards. Do you know how that work came about and if that team is still around?”

What are their top 3 priorities for the next 2-3 years (as a business) and what specifically could you do to help them be successful? What does success look like for them (personally and professionally)? And what’s missing with the team? Where are the opportunities to serve as a mentor?

If you were talking to a new client and trying to get up to speed on the brand and the product, what q’s would you ask? It’s really not all that different, when you think about it—although hopefully you’d have a lot more opportunity with the clients (dubious an interviewer is going to have time to answer more than a few). But here’s one you should always end with if at all possible in an agency, client, or real people interview—“what other question should I be asking?” Never know what you’ll learn.

What are you most proud of from your time here? What’s the biggest challenge facing your team right now?

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Advice/suggestions please:
Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

If you have any insight/two cents you up for sharing to help me out, thank you!

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field?

Working on a long term brand platform, which had the potential to be a really stellar, powerful body of work.

Sadly, it's being driven into the ground so hard by stakeholders that I have no love left for it. It's slowly becoming an embarrassment.

How do you go about this? Do you just swallow your pride and just take the paycheck? Try to fight for it tooth and nail while you still can?
