What were some of the questions you were asked when interviewing for your current cw position?

Who’s doing work that you like?
Of the brands you admire, which has a distinct brand voice and what do you like about it?
Which brand needs to pivot?
Who’s doing smart things on social?
Who’s your favorite copywriter and why?

These are also questions that you should consider asking the interviewer—if they’re a Sr CW/ACD/CD.

You should also ask these types of questions based on the brand(s) you’re interviewing on. What are the successes and challenges with getting work sold in to the clients

For my latest role, I was asked to tell my “best story”. I’ve been in the industry a long time, and it was the first time I’d ever heard that one. It was tough being put on the spot like that, but ultimately, I think it was one of the best questions I’ve ever been asked.

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.
