I had a group interview at Cossette a couple weeks ago (January the 13th) and learned quite a couple things I would like to pass on.
1) It's AS GOOD or BETTER to have the right questions then it is to have the right answers. Asking the right questions shows you are curious (and Possibly Intelligent) since with the right question you can demonstrate what you already know as well as a willingness to learn.
2) Stick out , That is if you can . its like a race, the company/agency wants to see who runs fastest. Alot of times this can be achieved by #1
3) ALWAYS Bring pen and paper , I regret not doing this.
4) Do your research . Weather you graduated and went into something else and are coming back to what you studied for , or whatever your plan is . You have to keep up YOU have to keep relevant.
5) Alot of the big agencies will always ask you what your favorite campaign is . do your research and come up with as much facts as you can when it comes to 1) WHY (was it interactive , engaging ? amusing? memorable?) what were the RESULTS (measurable ones) the try to find one that scored big for the client and entertained the consumer (as well as yourself)
Alright with that said ,
I'm interviewing for two positions and I'm EXCITED
Not only that but a project I've been working on is about ready to get pitched to classmates /friends and interested parties more on that later when i'm really ready to share but its film based and is about very eccentric characters . We will see what happens but I like to keep busy what can I say ?.
Listening to -Slow club -Our most brilliant friends
-AND-
-The submarines -Thorny thicket.
Could not pick one song. Goodday!
