On docustyle/case study/unscripted pieces do you prefer to do interviews with on screen talent or do you let your director?

Director. I’ll bring along a list of specific talking points and just steer/remind my director if they go careening off a tangent.

But also these budgets have been so low, half the time I’m also the director. So y’know. Whatever works.

Director. Always.

Director. Definitely. But I also provide a solid brief and ask them to pre interview before the on camera interviews. There really isn’t a need for spontaneity. That’s a myth.

Your case studies have a director? Wowza

Hire a director and production company that shoot this type of thing. Then let them know you may want to ask follow up questions or have them ask them. You should get what you need this way. Unless it’s a prickly celebrity, we usually ask the question multiple times or ways to get different, hopefully shorter sound bytes.

Depends. If you know how to interview do it yourself. Chances are your better off finding the talent who understands the art form.

I am currently an EH&S/AP associate for Walmart Supple Chain. I am a team lead in the department making $31.35 an hour working Fri-Sun from 5:30-17:30 (12hr). I am interviewing for EH&S/AP manager and I am searching for how much the managers are making on here but I can’t find any post about it. If I get an offer for the manager position, how much should I ask for my salary? Please let me know how much you are making as an EHS manager and please include your company as well.

What are your thoughts about putting an explanation for the current gap (as in, I haven’t been working for several months) on your resume, LinkedIn profile or cover letter? If you think it should be included in one of these places, how would you do it?

I moved to the Netherlands 3 months ago on a spouse visa. Was working with EY-P earlier. I have been applying to jobs and giving interviews but for some reason things are not working out. I get a different reason everytime (after going through the whole process). This has never happened earlier in life and now I don't know what else to do. I have worked as a strategy consultant (& a researcher). Should I change lines? Where else can I try?
I can't apply to boutique firms since Dutch is mandatory

Hello Fishes, I interviewed at a company in October and they responded to me after a month. I accepted the verbal offer last week Wednesday. They said they would give written offer in a week. I have recruiters from the same company reach out for positions at different locations. My current recruiter said once I accept this I can't interview for other positions at the same company. Their process is so slow that I don't really want to miss out on any chance.What would be a great time to follow up?

My psychiatrist today revealed to me that I may have ADHD, still a hypothesis that he is still exploring but from my personal experiences and discussions with therapist, it seems likely.

One example of personal experience is my ongoing prep for case studies as I'm interviewing with a number of firms. I do struggle to keep focus and generally take a bit longer to finish them, specifically the structuring of the case. Does anybody else feel the same way and any recommendations to overcome this?
