    So, I've got an interview with one of the agency big networks this afternoon. It's a strange little arrangement: it's for a Big Tobacco account, and I'd be working with the creative and account teams on-site at the client's every day, just a bit outside the city. So I'd be totally removed from the rest of the agency and the other accounts.

    Dream job? Fuck no, not by any means. But I will still try my best to get this job, because I hope to use it as a way into the rest of the agency network (which also has offices in Berlin and Hamburg, as well as in Munich), so that I can transform it into a dream job after my probation period would be done in six months. The goal would be to leave the Big Tobacco account, and work for other accounts, doing the work I love to do.

    Fingers crossed.

    • I also forgot to mention this gig would be a digital thing (meh), adapting creative coming from the account's creative team in Hamburg. So yeah, not ideal ...Continuity
    • ... but I'll take what I can get. I can improve my situation there after the six months.Continuity
