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
What they want to hear (this is the research you need to do), try one point of emotional connection- are they huge music fans, sports, family etc.

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

Hi, I had finished my technical and managerial round on May 25th and 26th with PWC. The manager did mention that there would be another in-person round in the PWC Bangalore office. Although the first 2 rounds went well, there has been no further response from HR. Is this a normal delay or should I think I didn't make it. Any thoughts?

They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
