http://viewfrommadisonave.blogspot.com/2011/01/plan-b-part-ii.html
View From Madison Avenue. Observations about the business and people of advertising. Thursday, January 13, 2011. Plan B", Part II. While I received a few comments on my blog post about having a career “Plan B”. Most comments came directly to me or through Facebook or LinkedIn. I thought I would address a number of issues and questions which came up. The most common question I received – including two phone calls – was, “I don’t know what I want to do. How do I figure it out? Nowhere is it written that wh...

View From Madison Avenue: Be Careful Of Jobs That Overpay
http://viewfrommadisonave.blogspot.com/2013/06/be-careful-of-jobs-that-overpay.html
View From Madison Avenue. Observations about the business and people of advertising. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Be Careful Of Jobs That Overpay. Charles Revson, legendary founder of Revlon, had a method to his madness. He would take a $75,000 executive and offer them $125,000 or more knowing that they would increase their lifestyle to that spending level. He also knew that once that happened, he would own them. They were then at his mercy. He thought nothing of calling people at all hours of the night.

View From Madison Avenue. Observations about the business and people of advertising. Tuesday, September 9, 2014. The Absurdity of Recruiters Guaranteeing Candidates For Their Clients. Most candidates are not aware that the recruiters who place them are guaranteeing that they will not leave their new company for a specified period of time. This guarantee is often unconditional. How weird is that? This kind of guarantee is a double whammy for recruiters. We are guaranteeing that the job responsibilities ar...

View From Madison Avenue: How Long Should An Interview Last?
http://viewfrommadisonave.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-long-should-interview-last.html
View From Madison Avenue. Observations about the business and people of advertising. Sunday, May 9, 2010. How Long Should An Interview Last? An interview should be as long as it takes to determine the nature of the person you are interviewing. It could be as short as twenty minutes if you feel no connection, but it could last well over an hour if there is a good give and take. I have developed a very effective interview technique. I make a judgment about the candidate within a minute or so of meeting...

View From Madison Avenue. Observations about the business and people of advertising. Tuesday, October 14, 2014. Should Companies Have Junior People Interview Senior Candidates?

In most cases I am told that this is because the more junior people are long-term, trusted employees and they want to be sure they are good with the hire. Or was the supervisor ju...

View From Madison Avenue. Observations about the business and people of advertising. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. An Advertising Story: How Carl Ally Won Piper Aircraft. I love this story. It shows that if you want something badly enough, you can make it happen,. I told this story recently and was encouraged to post it because it is a great story; right out of Mad Men. Carl Ally himself told it to me. It is fun. Ally and Gargano was a wonderful agency. Carl Ally was a pilot. Mr Piper refused to see him. At so...

Many hiring managers ask candidates to send writing samples. Some insist on them. The ask for creative briefs, they ask for points of view, they ask for recommendations. At the most senior levels. Every creative director knows this problem. Six or eight writers, art directors and producers may all have the sam...

kylie parry studios: christmas packaging
http://kylieparry.blogspot.com/2010/11/christmas-packaging.html
Saturday, November 6, 2010. I'm a sucker for cute packaging. I love packaging orders around the holidays! I've been collecting (some call it hoarding) bits of string and lace all year- time to put it to use! I purchased the tissue paper in bulk online- its earthy, yet feminine- I think it suits my work perfectly! November 6, 2010 at 12:24 PM. I wouldnt even want to open these, just drink in the gorgeous packaging :). November 6, 2010 at 2:04 PM. November 10, 2011 at 9:03 AM. You are so talented!
