I remember one time I got a question that threw me completely off: “what does copywriting mean to you?” I had already felt pretty accomplished, and that seemed like a question you would get in ad school, but it was coming from a GCD who I admired for a senior position.

I froze and had no idea what to say. I faked my way through the answer, saw her roll her eyes, and I felt like a fraud.

But hey, even the best athletes in the world practice the fundamentals. Stay grounded and remember why you do what you do.

If they’re bringing you in for an interview it means they like your work, so no point in needed to “prove” yourself. Take this as a cultural fit test. Be cool, confident, and look up the CDs you’ll be working with. Ask them questions.

Interviewed with Chicago court 2 weeks ago; they decide mid-August. Interviewed with DC judge last week; hear from him by this Friday. Chicago said if I need an answer before August, they'd try to make a decision about me sooner.
Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?
