My old AD partner put a project in their book that they barely worked on (with me) before they left the agency. They replaced some of the copy with their own words and there are grammar errors...

Just be honest and nice. Hey your portfolio is looking nice and I noticed there was a typo on a project we worked on together. Would you mind fixing that typo? I'm concerned that during future interviews, agencies and creative directors might think one of us doesn't know how to type. Thanks!

Just ask them to take your name off of it

Especially if they changed the copy anyways

This is 100% the right answer, you should pay attention rather than blowing it off because it didn’t fit what you want the answer to be. No one cares, this persons crappily altered book will have no bearing on your career whatsoever. I’d just avoid that person from now on. But feel free to burn time and energy on it if you like.

That is for sure awkward! Maybe you could message them and be like “noticed some of the copy wasn’t final ... do you want the final files for this project?” If they still don’t catch on, then maybe you figure out how to ask them to fix the copy since your name is on it. But yeah not sure how I would do that.

I’ll give that a whirl then thank you!!

And they list me as the CW on the page. Is it worth reaching out to them about it? If so, any advice for how to approach the text?

Or you could say something less corny

like

Yes, reach out and say, “If you’re going to have remedial, fourth grade grammar mistakes on the work that ‘we’ created, please fix them”

I tend agree with SW1 and let it go. Especially if it’s old work, that hasn’t been awarded (I hope your AD is not dumb enough to change the copy on an award winning ad).

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time
