I am going through a background verification with HireRight for Microsoft. I put as job titles the ones I also put on my resume, which are matching my real duties and activities. However, apart from my last employer, my past internal employers have really weird internal titles that say nothing about my qualifications and skills. Will this cause any issue and push Microsoft to rescind my offer?

I see this question about how to display side projects often, so putting this out there for anyone who might find it useful:

There’s no such thing as side projects, in my eyes. Every project is an opportunity to display your creativity, and the few you’re most proud of make it to your book. Generally, the consensus these days is that we want our advertising to not look/feel like advertising. So, why should you be concerned to separate what was and wasn’t “advertising?”

What do you think is the best site to make your book on as a copywriter?

POV: you're an AD* looking for a copy (me) to build our portfolio together and work in... London?

DM:
1) if your seniority is mid/senior or you won an award (Lions, D&AD, One Show..)
2) 3 fav Cannes Lions 2022 campaigns*
3) 3 creatives you love
We create 3 campaigns before XMas and maybe in 2023 we'll start dream big!
Let's make 3 our magic number

* I ask just because if your work is focused on editorial design, that is a different field. I wish you like strategic thinking. Thank you, bye!
