So, you think you are the next big thing but how do you convince an agency of that? What are the agencies really looking for in their employees?
(1) "The agency recruiter will generally look for someone with a degree, yet this can be in almost any area. The industry tends to recruit from a broad base of degree subjects in order to achieve diversity of thinking and ideas.
(2) It is important to have good numeracy, literacy and IT skills whilst at the same time possessing strong interpersonal relationship skills – this is a people focused industry.
(3) Agencies also look for individuals to have an interest in what makes people 'tick' and for them to be self confident but at the same time possess the ability to be
self questioning.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME?
(I) Working in advertising allows you the
opportunity to embark on a great career
in an industry with clout. There is
tremendous variety within the industry
and great job satisfaction.
(II) You acquire some of the most sought-after transferable skills in marketing and communications.
(III) You will network with agencies, clients, suppliers, media owners
and consultants, which provides a
plethora of future opportunities.
(IV) Advertising is a meritocratic industry and quick promotion can be guaranteed for those who shine. You will work in a close knit community and opportunities exist to move around within the industry.
Men's Court!
