If you’re interviewing someone:

what piece of advertising other than from any agency you’ve worked or the agency you’re interviewing with has resonated with you in the past year? (The answer here doesn’t matter - you just want someone who is looking at what’s out there.

If you are the one being interviewed:

2. What % is my role allocated to this brand? What % of my boss and person under me is allocated to this brand? (Shows how much support you’ll get)

3. Have you ever experienced harassment/rude behavior from a client, either directed by you or your team, at any point in your career? If so, how did you or your boss handle? (This is the key here - you’ll see how much they are willing to defend you in front of the client. And if they say they never experienced it, they are lying (especially if the person is at a mgmt level))

I recently had an interview with HCL and cleared 2 rounds of technical interview. I waited for a week for HR call but no such call was received. I then contacted the POC who scheduled the interview (he is an HCL employee) and he said that I have been shortlisted and will receive HR call shortly. This was 1 week ago and I have still not received any call. Has anyone else faced the same issue? And if yes, should I even expect a call fro HR?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
