Ok so applying to roles is hard enough but applications that ask me which living artist I admire most, or which of these core principles I identify with most, (family, hustle, truth), make me want to crawl into bed and stay there forever. Why is this even a thing?!

Who IS your favorite living artist? Do tell.

Conversely, mix it up and say Tupac.

Were you actually asked those questions??

Absolutely. A prod co/agency hybrid asked me about my favorite artist and what inspires me the most. My real answer these days is “income and paying my bills”... but I improvised. The other is a question on Cycle/Laundry Service online applications. My other favorite is “why do you really want to work here”, which I think is part of the Complex Networks & Superfly submission process.

Question for paid search experts who have big agency experienc (e.g. big 4, dentsu, etc.) - is it considered standard to use SKAG instead of STAG, and use alpha/beta structures?...even with the changes Google has made to phrase and exact match? The various agencies I've worked at (small agencies) never use that method.

If you were interviewing someone from a small agency and they said they didn't use those types of account structures, would you think they were inexperienced?

I have never done freelance work and was given the opportunity to take part in a cool project. My problem is it’s a proactive case by a brand new agency and it’s their own project, meaning there’s no client who pays for the work. For them it’s PR for their new business, but I think they’re expecting me to work completely pro bono. It does have potential for a great case and I’d love to have it in my portfolio, but is it reasonable for them not to compensate me? Any tips on how to approach this?
