2nd interview

and when I say interview...I mean not human to human...because if that were the case, I could just charm them to death.

But this one was closer. I actually spoke to a creative recruiter on the phone. And in a manner of speaking was assaulted. They turned the game on. Flipped it. And reversed it. And I was unprepared.

Recruiter: So Shaun...lets take a look at your book...whap whap whap whap...visual solutions

Me: Whap whap whap whap
In my head: What the fuck did she just ask me?

Recruiter: Well here at **** advertising we try to whap whap whap whap

Me: Oh, ok...I definitely see that from your work
In my head: Most of your work is crap, I do like the stuff with the cows

Recruiter: Well, most of your work is whap whap whap whap. Tell me about the process to this campaign

Me: Whap whap whap (at this point defending my work)
In my head: Really, what do you want from me.

Recruiter: Well, I think all your work is too literal. And we don't do that type of stuff here. But you should keep in touch...your book should be an ever evolving whap whap whap

Me: Oh I well, thanks alot for you opinion...I do appreciate it.
In my head: Wow, that went all types of wrong, I have to go to the gym.....



So yep.......other lines of work.....
The thing is, I had a conversation with a friend of mine, and she made me realize that I am going to have to take a leap of faith eventually. And I mean, thats becoming more and more apparent. I figured I wait until everyone in chicago tells me my work is SHIAT first..lol, ya know.

Practice, practice practice. One day I'll get this creative interview business down. But until then...Im in training.
