This might be a weird question, but how do you all prepare for second interviews?

I'm a big advocate of creeping the people interviewing you on LinkedIn to find common ground, see if they list any passion projects you can speak to, etc. I'm client side though so I just have to be able to say words good.

Second interview means it’s down to you and one other person, maybe 2. If they flew you out, you’re very close and it could be a gut check. It’s time to start acting like you have the job already. Pretend it’s your first day, start actually working: create a plan to make an impact, figure out where the opportunities are, have ideas on how to improve. If you don’t get the job after that, it wasn’t going to be a good fit

Depends on how the first interview went. Easiest distinction I can make is in interview #1, they ask you questions. Interview #2 is a time for you to ask more refined questions, especially since you should have a clearer picture of the agency now.

Shave.

Get a better lawyer. Oh. Not THAT type of interview. I prep and listen to pump up music before i go in. Focus on qs you were asked previously.

Always

I read a lot of posts here about difficult bosses, difficult clients, difficult partners, terrible briefs and terrible agencies. All that might be true. But it’s getting old. What I’d be interested in hearing about are the stories of how people have overcome the challenges. How did you sell that big idea? How did you fix a relationship? The world is not going to get easier. So maybe we can help each other get better at dealing with it. Who had a win recently? How did you do it?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
