So I’ve been looking for a job since august and have had a bunch of interviews but never got the job. I always thought I was a good at interviews, but I’ve started really questioning that. I feel like I have solid experience and have always been managed by either GADs or CCD so have worked and been exposed to things that you don’t necessarily expect someone at my level (AD/SAM) to have worked on. Anyways, I’m curious to hear how you guys talk about/sell yourselves during interviews? Any tips?

I am sure you are great and you are not the problem. I can imagine right now agencies are having trouble pulling the trigger on new hires as client budgets are being determined for next year. I won’t be surprised if you get an offer or at least more interviews in the new year. Enjoy the holiday break and best of luck!

Be yourself, go there and tell them

Get them to like you and then communicate why you answer their problem. It’s essentially a brief.

I just started looking for a job and made some profiles on various job boards. I'm getting a lot of emails from recruiters that look like this. Whenever I talk to them on the phone it's very hard to hear them and the whole thing just seems a bit fishy. They ask for my DOB, and one asked if I would sign something so they could market my profile. Is this a scam?
I've censored names, addresses, and phone numbers.

I am far along in the interview process for a job I want (meeting with Chief Legal Officer next week), but am still accepting other interviews until I have a formal offer.

Should I let the recruiter know that now, or just do the interview for more “practice”? Thanks!
