My partner and I are interviewing for a senior role for the first time. We’re talking to the ECD next. Are there any specific questions or things we should talk about that are different from interviewing as a mid?

Few questions to ask in an interview, hope it helps.

These questions are “open ended” meaning that they do not have a simple one word answer. The questions are phrased in a manner that is conversational and should help keep the interviewer at ease.

1. What piece of advice would you give me to be successful at your company?
2. In this economy what has made your company successful and competitive?
3. What do you see as the biggest challenge in this position?
4. What has been your biggest challenge since being at the agency?
5. What would you like me to accomplish in the first 3 month and the first year?
6. What is your favorite part about working here?
7. What makes your best client the best and what makes your most challenging client the most challenging?
8. Describe the new business process?
9. What do you see as the biggest challenge for me should RT choose to hire me?
10. How do you like to concept - alone, with your partner, or what?
11. What clients have you worked on in the last year?
12. How involved is upper management in the approval stages?
13. Do you attend client meetings?
14. How would you describe the culture at xxxxx?
15. How close were you to your former creative partner?
16. What was your favorite ad or campaign from my book? My reel?

At the end of an interview you can ask, “ Do you have any concerns?” This allows you to clear up any possible misunderstanding.

Salary: I am sure if I am the right candidate you’ll make me a fair offer and that will be fine.

Things to avoid: Me Me Me ME!

When talking about what you want to do. Avoid talking about “wanting to win awards and get new work for MY BOOK.” Or “I want to improve my book.”

Try a more general approach of keeping things inclusive about how you want to contribute to the company. It would be a great opportunity to further grow as a creative improving all aspects of what I do from, work to client presentation skills.
