What kind of interview questions does a recruiter ask vs a creative director? What’s the biggest difference? Just got into the industry so need a bit of help prepping for interviews, thanks!

In my experience recruiters ask more functional questions. Why are you looking? Previous jobs etc and give you an overview of the position.
CDs ask you more questions to see if you will fit with there needs/team. process, what work your proud of, can you do x thing the team needs, what are you hoping to get out of this etc

How you do anything is how you do everything

the recruiter is a vetting step. a gatekeeper. keep the totally unqualified from talking to the hiring manager - the hiring manager will make any decisions.

I got laid off in January and have been trying to find a new job since. I keep making it to the phone interview and sometimes a second interview, but always get ghosted. It’s so disheartening.

I have too much experience for an internship, and I have too little to be the top choice for copywriter roles. I know I’m a good writer, I know what I’m capable of, but it’s so exhausting trying to convince people. They always like my book but it’s never enough to get the gig. What can I do?

Is he right?
