I bombed a question in my interview! Feeling horrid
Got an interview with Amazon within their Advertising department. I hear working for Amazon can be great if you get into the right department. Anyone have insights to their advertising department? Good or bad? Also, would love some interview tips if you have them! (It’s for an Executive Assistant position) thank you!
I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google

No, but I’ve seen a lot of people get a younger partner and find energy they didn’t know they had. 😄 Don’t pass up a dream, you may regret it later.
I am older than you and got a new job this year at a place of my dreams. Ive done a few late nights. Only fell asleep once on the job, but no one cared. 😴
I am 53 and 2 years ago I was hired for the best job and salary I have ever had. Never underestimate yourself, you've got this! It is not about energy, it is about experience and expertise.
Love this
If you’re over 50, you most likely have 10x the time management skills, 5x the knowledge and 3x the stamina of most young creatives. You can do this.
You’ve got a lot of experience. Maybe you can teach the youngins something! As someone who is a lot older than you, I freelance at a lot of agencies where the creatives are 10-20 years younger than me. Once we connect, they all know that I know my shit and will make their vision a reality. It’s fun and I welcome every challenge. I love what I do and am very passionate about making the best creative product I can. I’ve always joked that my dream when the time does come, is to drop dead on a set.
Cool I always enjoyed working with older producers when I was younger. Alot of the younger ones would be frantic and nervous. Older ones seemed more calm and collected and always had great stories
Congrats OP!!!! Get it!!!
A) Take me with you. B) Your experience will help compensate for any energy gap.
I’ll take you if they take me first :) still having interviews. Wether they extend and offer or not, I am already grateful to have the opportunity to talk to this agency because it’s been a confidence boost that I dearly needed.
I think you’ll find you outwork them all. I’m personally still the last one to turn off the proverbial lights at night. And you can also cut to the chase on getting at the good work faster. Hard part will be knowing you’ll be reporting to them soon because they have a big Tik Tok following. If you can divorce yourself from that, trust in your abilities, and only care about the work you’ll be just fine.
You’ll be fine. Craft a deliberate thoughtful personal brand for yourself.
So, what happened?
