Creative Director Job Questions & Answers

My idea of a creative director or similar (same job, different title) is coming up with ideas for certain situations in video games for example in World of Warcraft they might create the concept for a character or a boss encounter and alter it to fit the games gameplay. If I am incorrect in my idea of what the job entails could you explain it to me? I want to know because if it is the fore mentioned I would be really interested in a career like that. Have a nice day - Chris

I am writing a cover letter for my resume, and I don't know who to address it to. The supervisor is listed on the job information sheet I received, but the director is listed first on the website, and the supervisor is listed as the junior creative director on the site, not supervisor. Also, if I do not know their marital status, would it be informal to address the cover letter using their full name?

I am a child photographer and looking to get commercial jobs, most agencies will not add me because I don't have enough commercial work behind me. So what is the best way to get my foot in the door? I was told by someone to do test shoots and submit to children magazines. Would it be better to contact creative directors with samples of my work? www.owccphotography.com

I did a freelance job from March-April 6th and the creative director wrote me back saying he will keep in touch when more work is available. He wrote to me on the 9th of April...it is April 25th and haven't heard anything from him. I still haven't received my check from the work as well. What I'm asking is what do I say in the email to keep in touch and that I haven't received my check but sound professional. Thanks.

That question was first asked a week ago but I reasked it for more insights. This is the development of the case: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnphWwVXe96a291WDfkC1UHsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20121119062800AAvIraI Since the company rules no longer match the internship requirement and the majority of the staffs have voiced their opinions that I should fire the intern. The creative director/one of the owners which is his supervisor got into a heated debate with the board of directors regarding the issue but he's finally giving up. I just contacted the representative of the university and she said that although my company violated the internship rules but they would not go as far as challenging us legally if we talk to the intern calmly and reasonably. And we have to persuade him to take another year and doing internship somewhere else. This is still on the planning stage, the intern has not been fired nor given any warnings yet. But the intern will be informed as soon as he finishes the projects he's currently been assigned to.

I applied to a company last year and I received an email from the Creative Director asking if I was interested in a position at their company. I immediately responded back saying I was interested and since then I haven't heard anything from them, which was 5 days ago. In this type of situation how long should I wait for a response before emailing or even calling them back?
