1,000% ask why the position is open and average tenure

like

Good answer would be “for the position 1-2 years before promoted and generally 5-10+ years across the department”

Bad answer would be “they just started building this team” or “this role just opened up” or anything like that which avoids saying a year range.


You are looking for longevity and promotion

Creative recruiters. When looking at candidates, how much does the resume matter vs. the portfolio? Do you even look at the resume? Thanks

My AD coworker (not currently my partner) just got hired at a new agency and wants to bring me along as his writer. I'd love to join. He told the recruiter at that agency about me and sent my book. I also have another former coworker (creative) who put in a good word for me.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..

This all happened on Friday, if that matters. Thanks!
