Let’s say you were interviewing at what’s widely considered to be the best creative agency in the world how would you dress? I’m thinking jeans/boots/blazer but maybe a less conservative shirt. Help!

Work wardrobe has become waaay more casual in the past five years. People are dressing more like ninjas than lumberjacks. Your interviewers will be dressed more casually than you And jeans / boots / blazers can go awry if you’re wearing a dress shirt or boot cuts / non-selvedge or a suit jacket in place of a blazer. If you do want to go with jeans / boots / blazer it’s better to aim for gallery owner than adtech vendor. Get yourself a cotton blazer with patch pockets, treat yourself to a new Oxford cotton button down, and consider a pair of Common Projects sneakers or their suede Chelsea boots instead of a dress or outdoorsman boot.

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment.

I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?
