Anonymous said...: what exactly is graduate recruitment? i've seen sections for this on UK sites (i'm in the U.S.) - is this an internship-like program for planners?; 23 October 2007 at 03:07
The AdLads said...: Hey Courtney, grad recruitment is basically a wave of recruitment into ad agencies, where they get college grads fresh out of their graduation gowns and put them to the grindstone.

The type of jobs offered from agency to agency, some offer grad positions as planners, some as account peeps and some as both - it's not an internship usually, but some agencies now hire college grads for summer schools; internships that last 6ish weeks and make job offers to the best of them.

Hope that begins to answer your question, fire away if you have any more!

Graduate Recruitment

Graduate recruitment has started and stirred us into some much needed activity on the blog front.

Links to applications and deadline dates are just below, if your agency's hiring grads this year and we haven't got the scheme on the list, send Sam or Will an email and they'll whack you on.

Sam's post on filling out application forms is here. Will's got five top tips for first round interviews for you too.

More advice on 1st round interviews and two lots of second round interviews should also still be of some use to y'all.

If planning's something you've thought about, have a read of this. As always, comments/questions/abuse are all welcome. Mostly.
