The advertising interview is not like other job interviews. It's special. It's different.
And often times the importance of it is overlooked, especially by students and juniors.
Over and over again you're told that the only thing that matters is your book so it's not completely surprising that students sometimes neglect the details that would make a good interview great.
The truth is, having a great book is paramount. However, having a good interview will make your work shine that much brighter and a bad interview will have the inverse effect.
The internet is a tad short on resources dedicated to this particular topic though. So even if an eager young creative was savvy enough to look up tips for acing an interview with their dream agency, they would probably come up short. Sure, there are loads of documents out there that'll help you get ready for an interview at a bank. Or an accounting firm. But instances are probably far and few between of Creative Directors asking applicants to list three of their strengths and three of their weaknesses. The advertising interview is a special kind of beast.
Fortunately, some of the brightest in the business agreed to share their tips for acing your next agency interview, beyond just having a great book. So good luck and remember: you've been warned.
This is a work made in the 11th grade about all the steps leading to a job interview. All the dos and don'ts and advises to make your interview incredible and to wow the interviewer. We also did two mock interviews in which we pointed out how to make a good job interview and a not so good one. We created a fake product, a fake job, a fake company and we did a little play around that. PowerPoint available by requesting in a comment. The script of both is on the last pages. I hope you like it and please share!

THE 25 WORST JOB INTERVIEW
MISTAKES
So stop worrying about how to do something
outstandingly right. Avoid these mistakes and you're far
more likely to find yourself in the job-search finals.
1. Arriving Late.
Nothing makes a worse impression. If you can't turn
up on time for the interview, what on earth would you
do as an employee? If there's even the remotest
chance that weather, traffic or hard-to-follow
directions might be a problem, leave early just to be
sure. If your car is hit by a meteor, go to a phone
booth and ask to reschedule.
2. Arriving Early.
Getting to the office building at 3:30 for a 4:00
appointment is good; presenting yourself to the
receptionist at that time is not. As Jeffrey G Allen
explains in How To Turn An Interview Into A Job
(Fireside, 1983), "When it comes to interviewing, only
fools rush in." It pressures the interviewer - and could
make it look as though you have nothing better to do.
Instead, go to a nearby restaurant for a last-minute
cup of coffee and a final check of your hair and
clothing.
3. Dressing Wrong.
Speaking of clothing, it matters. How you look has a
lot to do with how you're seen. "Oftentimes in the very
first few minutes of the interview, the decision is made
whether it's going to be a turndown or a second
interview," stresses John L. LaFevre, a human
resources director based in Ohio and author of How
You really Get Hired (Arco/Prentice Hall Press, 1986).
"It either clicks on or it clicks off, and the remainder of
the interview is spent validating that early judgment."
Dressing too casually or flamboyantly can ruin your
chances. The safest choice for any interview is a
tailored suit in a conservative color like navy, gray or
tan. Even the executives in wildly creative fields (TV,
music, advertising, etc.) will respect you for knowing
that a job candidate should look businesslike.
4. Dressing In A Rush.
Don't. On the job interview, neatness counts more
than it has since your last grade for penmanship. Try
on your entire interview attire the night before the
appointment, if not earlier. That way you can make
any necessary improvements or repairs.
5. Smoking.
In one Seattle University study, up to 90 percent of all
executives surveyed said they'd hire a nonsmoker
over a smoker if their qualifications were equal.
6. Drinking.
Even if this is a lunch or dinner interview and others
are ordering cocktails, stick to mineral water or club
soda. At the very most, ask for a white wine spritzer (a
tall glass of wine and club soda on the rocks) and
don't have more than one. You need to be alert for
this experience, not mellowed out.
7. Chewing Gum.
Gum is not a good substitute for cigarettes or self-
confidence. Gum chewing looks appropriate only in
vintage movies.
8. Bringing Along a Friend or Relative.
Tempting though it may be, resist the urge to bring
someone along to hold your hand or help you fill out
applications. Even being seen saying goodbye to your
best friend at the building door can make you look as if
you didn't have the nerve to get there on your own.
9. Not Doing All Your Homework.
It isn't necessary to memorize the company's annual
sales and profit figures, but you should know something
about their products or services. One candidate lost out
on an AT&T interview by mentioning their involvement in
a news story that had been about ITT, and there was no
way for the candidate to regain credibility after such a
glaring error. Check out information about large
companies in business magazines or the Internet, or call
the company to ask for a copy of the annual report.
10. Skipping A Dress Rehearsal.
You wouldn't make a speech to your PTA or church
group without planning what you're going to say, yet
people walk into job interviews every day just assuming
that brilliant words will leap to their lips. Don't assume.
Make a list of the questions you'd ask if you were
interviewing someone for this job then rehearse the best
possible answers using a tape recorder and/or a friend
for feedback.
11. Putting A Positive Spin On Your Weakest Qualities.
What are some areas of your work that you’d like to
improve? It may sound like a trick question, but
recruiters often ask job candidates to describe their
worst qualities during an interview. Don’t worry, they’re
not looking for a deep confessional. Instead, they
usually want to know your plans to improve your skills.
The easiest way to respond to this question is by turning
your negative qualities into positive ones. Say, for
instance, “I’m a very organized person, but you’d never
know it from my desk.” If you’re not a very patient
person, you’d say, “Sometimes I’m impatient, but that
impatience makes me try harder to make sure clients
understand what I’m communicating.” If you’re a
computer guru, but you lack skills in a certain program,
you can let them know you’re taking classes or learning
the program on your own. Show that you’re actively
taking steps to fix your weakest qualities.
12. Not Knowing Your Own Strengths.
Researching the company is only half your pre-interview
homework assignment. You have to research yourself
as well. "You must know your own background so
thoroughly that you are prepared to answer any
question about it without hesitation and in enough detail
to satisfy the interview," explains Arthur R. Pell in How
To Sell Yourself On An Interview (Monarch Press,
1982). "Hesitating, being vague on certain points, or
groping for proper words destroys the effect you are
trying to create." Make a list of ten work-related things
you do well or know a lot about. Then, during your
interview rehearsal, come up with graceful ways to bring
them up.
2. HB Staffing 714.960-2800
13. Asking Too Many Questions.
If you were the interviewer, would you hire someone
who hijacked the entire interview and put you on the
defensive?
14. Not Asking Any.
On the other hand, when the interviewer asks, "What
questions do you have?" saying that he/she has
covered the subject so well you don't have a thing to
ask about is a bad idea too. It makes you look
uninterested, unimaginative or both. "Let's say you're
interviewing for a job in real estate sales," suggests
Dr. Marvelle S. Colby, who teaches career decision-
making skills at both New York University and
Marymount Manhattan College. "You go in, having
done some research on the market and ask, "Do you
expect the market in this area to stay strong?"
15. Inquiring About Benefits Too Soon.
Ask not what the company can do for you but what
you can do for the company - at least at this point in
the selection process. If you seem more interested in
the three-week vacation policy or the new dental plan
than in actual job duties, the prospective boss may
develop serious concerns about your priorities. You
can broach the subject when salary negotiations
begin. Explain that the offer you'll accept depends on
the value of the whole compensation package (salary,
benefits, bonuses and any other payments).
16. Revealing Your Price Tag.
Did you ever fall in love with an article of clothing
before checking to see how much it cost? It may have
taught you to look at the tag right away so, in case the
price is out of the question, you can reject the
garment mentally before getting your heart set on it.
Things work the same way in a job search. Let these
people discover how wonderful you are before you tell
them how much you cost. If they try to sneak a
premature peek at your price tag, Marvelle Colby
recommends that you say something like, "Yes, I have
some salary thoughts, but I need to know more about
this job."
17. Crying Discrimination
The problem is, not everyone involved in the hiring
process knows exactly which questions aren't allowed
-- and in complete innocence they may bring up a
forbidden issue. Don't jump up and scream
accusations. Instead, reassure him/her that you can
handle all your responsibilities. Even if the intentions
aren't honorable, a dramatic protest is unlikely to get
you the job. If you don't get hired, then you can file a
complaint. If you do, you can bring up the issue later
as a full-fledged employee -- and make important
changes from the inside.
18. Bad-Mouthing Your Boss
Never, never, never say anything negative about a
person or company you worked for in the past. It
brands you a complainer.
19. Name Dropping
Attempts to play "who do you know" with your
interviewer have an unfortunate tendency to backfire.
Drop the name of someone at the company and it
could turn out to the hiring manager's worst enemy.
Announce that you went to school with the chairman of
the board's daughter, Felicia, and it can come off as
elitism. A much better way to use inside contacts: Ask
them to recommend or introduce you to the powers that
be.
20. Energy Failure
It doesn't matter if you only slept four hours last night
and are coming down with a cold. When you get to the
interview, you have to appear bright-eyed and eager.
Job candidates with lackluster attitudes rarely get the
offer. Mental energy is what it takes, so psych yourself
up before making your entrance. Some lecturers and TV
talk show guests do it by playing lively music right
before going on.
21. Handshake Failure
A limp or otherwise distasteful handshake is like bad
breath, one of those things that even your best friends
may never tell you about. So try this: Go to a trusted
buddy and say, "If I were going to develop the world's
most perfect handshake, would I make mine a little
firmer, a more gentle, a little shorter, longer or what?"
Then shake her or his hand to demonstrate.
22. Glancing At Your Watch
Clock watching gives the impression that you're late for
a more important date. Avoid that problem by asking
when you set up the appointment, how much time you
should allow for the interview. If the interviewer asks,
"Will you have time to stay today and meet with our vice
president?" then you can check the time and make a
decision.
23. Playing The Hero/Heroine
In 999 jobs out of 1,000, you're being called in to work
as part of a team, not to make a single-handed rescue
of a botched effort. Never convey the message, "You
guys have really messed it up, but I can show you how
to turn this company around." Instead, stress your
“meshability.”
24. Losing Your Cool
Expect the unexpected. Occasionally, interviewers have
been known to test job applicants by surprising them
with loaded questions or blunt comments, such as
"What makes you think you can handle this job when
people with twice your experience don't have the nerve
to apply?" Remain calm, even though your injured ego
may be fleeing for the nearest exit. Some companies
like to see just how professional and unflappable you
can be under fire.
25. Following These Instructions
Now that you've absorbed the "do's and don’ts" of the
job interview, feel free to set the rules aside and
concentrate on what a fine job you'll do if these people
have the good sense to hire you. Then relax and just
be yourself.
