I’m ex-Goodby and my partner is ex-W+K, and we got asked “Why the hell would you want to come here?” By an ECD of Publicis.

I got something similar as a Jr team. We were both blond, blue-eyed, and very white.

- How do you guys like working together?

- What’s your working style

- What’s your timeline like

CD: You guys get along?
Me: Sure, as long as he doesn’t drink my beer.

It’s mostly the same as any other interview. Tell us about your work. What’s your process like. But they’re trying to gauge chemistry. How well do you work together/know each other.

POV: my partner and I were new grads and just finished our internships.
how long we've been working together for/how long we've known each other.
what kind of work have we done (together, with other people, at our internships) and what kind of work we would like to do together/do more of.
Otherwise, pretty standard q's.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
