- Why is the position open? (Could be someone left, or a new business win. Both of which prompt follow ups.)

- What do you think is required for success from the person who fills this role? Are there any particular traits that have led people to success (or hindered them) in this role in the past?

- Tell me about a piece of work you’re proud of, that reflects the direction the agency is headed.

- No place is perfect. What do you think the agency / department could improve upon?

If you know the brand you are interviewing for, I always ask thwir perspective on the narrative of the brand, and where it is going.

Maybe internal beliefs or perspectives of who the brand could be, wmor should be.

What would you suggest that I do to get my first entry level position?

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience. I am graduating this December with my BBA and am ready to leave the job I’m in now. I’ve been applying for a range of positions I qualify for and nothing so far, which I expected. I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
