1,374 creative director interview questions shared by candidates

After the initial meeting with a very lovely HR lady you are asked, which is shocking, to submit a very long and for Lingokids extremely profitable exercise that takes years of experience to write and at least 3 days to plan and write. And it is full of free ideas they can use, free of charge. For this particular role over 1000 people applied, so if they asked 100 of them to submit ideas that comes to over 500 free ideas from the best creatives at the top of their game. How much is that worth? A million? Two? The most shocking bit is after working for free telling them how they should do their relaunch during the third interview the people interviewing you will happily admit they have not seen your CV, open your portfolio or looked at the documents 100s of people worked on for free. In my experience, whenever someone asks you for an "assignment" during an interview it is a scam to get free ideas, but never has it been as obvious as it was with Lingokids. During the actual interview the people forced to sit on it yawned and looked bored throughout it, which is incredibly unprofessional. This was the 3rd interview, so if they thought the candidate was not fit for the role that should have been said after the first one and before asking them to work for days for free on a valuable document they did not bother to read.

Mainly my experience overall within product design, end-to-end delivery, management/leadership experience, how I engage with leading cross-functional teams. It was a very fluid conversation that easily led into us speaking more in depth about methodologies, different lifecycles of full end-to-end delivery, etc.
