Basically - don't feel you have to fill the silence, be thoughtful, and don't worry about the odd moment of candour and honesty; it's why grads are so vital. :)Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456742697462240308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770497813535864740.post-24277227265719397722010-12-09T09:27:51.307+00:002010-12-09T09:27:51.307+00:00Thanks for the tips on WPP, very helpful indeed.

This isn't Deloitte, who have several hundred people. The process will probably be run by a few account handlers and a HR person or two.<br /><br />Now, it definitely varies by agency. The WPP Fellowship deserves special props - if you're rejected there, you'll be called to talk through what happened, what they thought of you and why.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456742697462240308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770497813535864740.post-27589010105732974862010-12-03T10:34:01.677+00:002010-12-03T10:34:01.677+00:00Wow, I nip off on hols, and this explodes. Sam'...Wow, I nip off on hols, and this explodes. Sam's link to our thoughts/old posts on second round interviews is still very valid, but if you'd like, we can write some more.<br /><br />Simon W and others - send me your submissions, and I'll try to put them up this weekend (with some thoughts - or just Simon's, to kick things off).<br /><br />In terms of JWT: I must confess to never getting a second rounder with them, but in terms of what to expect - there will be some basic competency exercises (and it sounds like the e-tray stuff will take care of that) along with 'marking' (though they will assess throughout the day) how you interact with the rest of the group. Finally, the quality of your thinking/how good your strategic thoughts are, and how they link to your solution - because you'll undoubtedly be asked to solve a real or fictional communications problem.<br /><br />Now, different agencies place different emphasis on just what they look for. Some really value nice, individually minded people - others, it's all in the strategy you present, or in your ability to get shit done.<br /><br />I would say JWT would value the latter two attributes at graduate level, due to what I know about the agency/friends who work there (obviously, there are nice people too, but niceness alone won't cut it; they really want people who can hit the ground running). Any JWTers who read this want to chime in?<br /><br />Jzrl - funnily enough, my very first interview was on the WPP Fellowship waaaay back in the day. It's a bit of a different beast to most of the schemes, as (first and foremost) you'll be interviewing with very, very senior people, most of whom don't want to hear the cliched advertising responses. <br /><br />No, they just want to talk, to know about you, to know what makes you tick, and what you think about the future of communications. So, I would suggest reading around the blogosphere/reading books like Steven Johnson or Douglas Holt's new ones, and coming to your own point of view (as well as having an idea about how all of it might fit together in the future).Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456742697462240308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770497813535864740.post-83085907697479393822010-12-02T15:39:29.326+00:002010-12-02T15:39:29.326+00:00I haven't decided on presentation topic yet, f...I haven't decided on presentation topic yet, finding it a bit tricky simply because in both of my 1st round interviews I was asked A LOT about several of my interests so don't want to be repeating myself! <br /><br />As for feedback, my experiences of getting feedback after 1st round interviews have all been pretty poor...something for the agencies to work on perhaps?!Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770497813535864740.post-31772981344885495612010-12-02T15:06:07.702+00:002010-12-02T15:06:07.702+00:00Hey Jenny,

I actually quite randomly ended up talking to one of my interviewers about the style of advertising interviews and he said that at that particular agency, they do all they can to make you feel relaxed and comfortable in the interview (like responding positively to what you're saying) because they want to know what you are actually like, rather than what you're like under pressure. I think because of this, it makes it so hard to judge how the interview has actually gone and if you're unsuccessful, what actually went wrong. The only way to know is to try and get some feedback from the agency, although some of them aren't great at doing this from my experience!Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770497813535864740.post-5300602365213520862010-12-01T14:37:40.811+00:002010-12-01T14:37:40.811+00:00Hey Will,

In my second interview, the interviewer was even talking to me about seeing me at the assessment day, so I was really surprised when I was later told I hadn't made it to the assessment day.<br />Are agencies usually misleading?
