What are some interview questions you have received (or given out) for the role of senior copywriter?

Since I was switching agencies I feel like the questions were more about why I was leaving, what my communication style was, etc, to see if I would be a good fit for the team. Your boss wants to know if you can take things and run with them with little direction, present to client and internally, review briefs to make sure the content is strategically sound and enough hours are allocated, etc. It’s really no different from CW just a bit more autonomy.

I get asked about how I come up with ideas a lot and I really hate that question

But also I think the most common one is they will ask you to take them through your portfolio and talk about a few of your favorite pieces, and it gives them a chance to see how you might present to a client while getting a sense of your experience

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry.

I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Hi everyone Today is my tcs doj and I got a mail from my onboarding manager that your doj is postponed please connect with your recruiter.
What might be the reasons.

Has anyone who's worked in HR, Finance, or another role with visibility to compensation information been able to use that as leverage for salary negotiations?

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
