What inspires you? Dream brands or assignments? Work that you’re proud of? Why this agency? Tell me about a negative experience and how you got through it. What’s your approach to leading a team? Can you describe your ideal process? Why do you want to leave your current agency? What do you like to do in your free time? Any questions for us?

Good luck!

Practice interview with a friend or mentor. Read common interview questions and answer them as if you were really in the interview. Do your research on the agency and determine what you would bring to the table to help it.

Thank you. It was hard to find interview scenarios for creatives, though. Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I was affected by layoffs about a month ago and urgently looking for a good immigration lawyer. The lawyer should be experienced in handling this 60 day grace period situation and developing alternate strategies - such as change of status to B1/B2 or applying to jobs from India. There is a lot of noise and wrong information going in the market so looking for good recommendations. 

I have very little time left for my grace period to end and need a consultation soon. Thanks

Interviews need to be monitored and recorded. I can’t tell you how many disappointed dreams I have been sold. It is a complete waste of time to really wait around to be wishful of a call. Gathering up 10 potential applicants to narrow it down to a top 3 and only make one offer is not acceptable. Much like jury duty, applicants should be compensated for their time.

Do you typically share your salary or salary expectations with recruiters on the first interview? I’ve had instances where the interviewer flat out tell me the range of salary band via email even prior to initial interview. I think this is a great way to set expectations from the get go and will save both parties time - but some companies like to play the “game” and get you to share numbers first, which I find very annoying. What have your experiences been with salary expectations?
