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))

Just venting:::
I had a interview for Human resources assistant position yesterday and while screening me. The lady mentioned that the position has already been filled as of yesterday but they still want to continue my screening for the future. I told her that we can continue if there are similar job opportunities open which there is another position but it has "ALSO" been filled as of today. I was just so irritated. I feel like it was just a waste of my time if I decided to going forward.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

I moved to the US from Canada last August. Recently got my work permit and now looking for work. Can anyone look at my resume and give me some advise or leads on what kind of jobs I'm best suited for? I live in a remote in PA. Not many jobs around here at all. I wouldn't mind working remotely.

I had my PM 5 on-site interviews at Google yesterday! It was great except for my last interview. My estimation was maybe a 5/10. A few things happened: it was introduced with only 10 minutes, there was a surprise extra person shadowing, and my interviewer turned her camera and mic off twice turning that part of call. I wasn't sure if I should keep going or wait and late I day, I couldn't stop from being thrown. Is there any value in letting my recruiter know that the interview didn't go well?

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?
