What should I do If I don’t get the chance to prove myself because my CD doesn’t like delegating things and likes doing things himself?

Ask him/her HOW can you help? If that doesn’t work, ask other teams/CDs.

^ honestly this is this answer. i know you’re an intern but if your current position isn’t giving you the opportunity to grow, you need to supplement your current job with freelance gigs (or passion projects) so you have something to fill your book with. keep looking for other positions

Do they just not like delegating the things you want to do? If so, you may not be ready for them. Most of us started out making banners, print layouts and decks

They don’t even delegate the decks

Do you not have enough stuff to do?

Nope, im literally begging for stuff to do

ugh that’s annoying :/

A CD that does things himself? An intern that doesn't get real work? 😒 Welcome to the glamorous world of advertising.

Stop shaming people for leaving on time. Working overtime every nite benefits no one if you’re exhausted. It’s not a badge of honor either. Work on your time management skills.
