Request for Work samples when interviewing. Do you guys PDF & send or request to walk through in person? I am always hesitant to just send & rather present it in person but can be tricky if (cont.)

Depends on the role... at a creative agency I share briefs or comms plan .... at a more strategic shop .. brand strategy or digital strategy work.... last few slides can sometimes be the creative that the strategy informed, or the design (packaging, visual identity etc) that the strategy informed ... but at the end of the day... that's your work not mine 😉

Hiring manager asks you to "send over some recent work "

Don’t have the answer but I’m curious about what do you share? Creative that came from your strategy or actual briefs?

If you send examples of strategies, I would make them unbranded (eg Soda brand) or send strategic thought pieces. You can always show things in person and not leave behind. We work with some clients that are very sensitive about confidentiality. And whatever you do, make sure it’s 100% your original work and not a copy paste from another strategy (yes, it happens).

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him. Three days later recruiter wants to give me a call and “give an update”. Schedules it after 2 days. This morning cancels last minute as they are having “internal discussions”. I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?

Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.

So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?
