The beauty of coming together as a team is that it gives each person an opportunity to expand beyond their individual role. The art comes in getting everyone excited about a new possibility and then making it fun (and safe) to explore the edges of both individual contribution and what you are collectively dreaming about. Be generous. Who you are being in the room is really important. I like to think of my role as holding space for everyone to feel welcome and for a bit of magic to happen.

FastCo on making teams more creative

Never underestimate the power of interview preparation.
1. Read up about the agency you're interviewing for - any previous work they've done - and have an opinion about it.
2. Know your own portfolio inside out.
3. Prepare a set of questions to show your interest - who they are inspired by, what culture they have at the agency or what vision they have for the company.

Forbes magazine on acing the interview

Leading can be lonely and it’s tempting to just be satisfied with status quo and failing to act when in a tough spot. I’ve found on a number of times, that action or agency, even with imperfect is better than inaction.

An example of this is based on an anecdote about a Hungarian reconnaissance unit lost in the Alps. In the poem, the soldiers faced an icy death, until their leader found a map which he used to lead the platoon to safety. On their return, however, it was found that the map was not of the Alps but of the Pyrenees.

Quick overview article

Make sure your interview is not one-sided. You should be interviewing them, too! Consider what they might want to hear from you, both in your answers and in your questions. The employer wants to know how you can benefit them, so sell yourself in a way that can convince them that they are winning by hiring you.

Two questions to ask to get a second interview

Whatever you do, don’t take the first offer--everyone likes a little bit of a battle, but at the same time don’t encourage a guessing game. Give feedback on every point of the negotiation while being direct about what you want, but be sure to consider the whole package (like extra holidays, maternity leave, etc.). Think about it as a long-term investment that’s not just about the immediate income.
