What are thoughts on having an online portfolio for an account manager to share when applying for jobs? Besides being a nice-to-have, is it expected (the same way that they are for creatives)? If so, what platforms are best to create one? TIA!

I used to do that early in my career. It’s not expected but can sometimes have you stand out. I included case studies for some of the more interesting and complex campaigns I worked on. Especially if I was leading them.

What did you have as your portfolio? Was it an actual website or something else?

I don't believe that it's expected in the same way as it would be for creatives, but it will only show that you've taken the extra initiative and are serious about your career and work. I'm not sure about the best platforms. I think most people typically just create a website, right?

An Account Manager in Media or Advertising is still essentially a farming role, isn't it? It's all about managing budgets and whatnot, right? What sort of Account Manager in the Media industry would need a visual portfolio? Are they expected to showcase pie charts with artistic flair?

While not expected, it’s a great way to differentiate yourself from the competition. Showcase the brands and campaigns you’ve worked on and share a visual representation of who you are.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
