Just be yourself, be honest, if you don’t know an answer, tell them you’ll find the answer. And most importantly, make sure you appear passionate. The fire in someone’s eyes works like gravity.

That is pretty relieving. Love this reply. Thanks for being so honest and helpful. I’ll keep that in mind!

At this stage, they’ll want to make sure you have a good head on your shoulders, a decent albeit entry level sense of what the production world *is*, some taste, and would be pleasant to work with. Go get ‘em

What your skillsets are was a big leap for me. I was so used to being a jack of all trades that I never took time to sit down and write exactly what skills and program experience I had. It can help them clear a space for you in their heads and keep you in mind for projects that you're suited for or things you should take time to learn during the internship.

you should have side projects. whether it’s a short film you worked on, or a gopro skateboard edit you shot and edited yourself. i think anyone hiring you wants to see that you’re passionate about the craft enough to make something for nothing because you love it. because the truth is, making something for nothing is the most fun you’ll ever have in production. when you’re dealing with money and opinions, you’ll probably want to hang yourself or yell at everyone because they’re being dumb. also they should know that you won’t yell at people when they’re being dumb and that you’ll always have a cool head. tell them a story that showcases your leadership and level-headdedness.

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot. Lately, I’ve been applying to iOS developer roles and I’m getting TONs of calls and callbacks from HR and recruiting managers, but then when my resume gets pushed to hiring managers they seem to often get peeved at how little years of experience I have with the title “iOS developer”…
which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?

I am better finally, and ready to get back to work, but I don’t know how to explain this or even approach this during interviews/resume writing.

Anyone have any helpful advice?
