TBWA's (almost) away...

There may be a spot of this.

Hello gang.

There's another new graduate scheme to tell you about. TBWA London are on the verge of opening up theirs. It kicks off on the 5th of May. Keep your eyes peeled here.

Best of luck with it.

An extension and an interesting opportunity...

These jobs will probably not involve framing.

Two things to tell you about.

1) The IPA Summer School:

The deadline's extended to the 6th of May, so get writing.

2) LHBS

This is a bit of a left field one - an Austrian brand strategy agency, LHBS, is looking for a trainee to start on the 1st of May (or shortly afterwards).

Below is a bit more about the job. To note, it is a paid gig. Good luck:

Karmarama are open for business...

Maybe there will be this kind of karma. Maybe.

Hello gang.

I have been alerted by Lucy Minton (who works at Karmarama) that the blighters have gone and opened their graduate scheme.

You can find it here, on Facebook. You need to fill out their questions by the 17th of April.

You need to be free in late April/early May for an interview, and if successful (you'll be told on the 20th of May) you will take part in a summer internship with two others across the summer - across July, August and September.

The successful grad will then be offered a job in Account Management.

Best of luck.

A few (pre-recorded) tips...

But not by me...

AdGrads was never intended to be written by a few people.

So, it's with great pleasure to be able to host a few bits of content written by the lovely Ms Francesca Wilski. She's in the middle of finishing off an MA in Broadcast Journalism, and has set up her site (ADvice and ADvise) in order to also help grads into Advertising/as part of her course. Which is great stuff, especially as she's just had a job offer off the back of it.

The Facebook group's here, along with the twitter. (On a side note, if anyone's interested in helping write her FB page now that she's gotten a job, leave a message in the comments).

The videos are below. I hope they're helpful:

Let us know what you think.
