Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 3 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Ogilvy (Taipé) em jun. de 2013
Entrevista
First round - phone interview with HR. It was a brief talk about my background and why I wanna join Ogilvy PR.
Second round - Writing test. drafted a news release based the information they provided, shared a good PR case and your thoughts, and wrote an email to client regarding client complaint.
Third round - In-person interview with HR head. Talked about my working experience and much about my personalities, how I handle pressures, my professional skills, whether or not I have connections with local media. Also, she asked if my family/boyfriend knew that I was applying for this job ( I guess she wanted to see if they would be okay with such long working hours)
Fourth round - In-person interview with Account Director and Managing Director
AD was friendly and focused on my past experience. MD was tough and tried to challenged my answers and observed how I responded. Also, she tested how much you know about PR. Ex, how would you describe the term "Public Relations", what is the most important element for PR....etc.
The important thing in showing your passion. Passion is very important in this industry.
Also, show your understanding about that PR is not merely about pretty things, celebrity, interesting events, cool branding campaign....instead, they are many miscellaneous tasks and practical hard work under the surface.

Entrevista
1. HR Phone Screen
This is a quick "vibe check." Expect the basics: your background, strengths, weaknesses, and the "money talk" (salary expectations). It’s mostly to see if you’re a match on paper and personality.
2. The Assessment Test
Next, you’ll get a written test (usually 3 questions). They want to see your "marketing sense"—how you analyze a campaign and think on your feet. The kicker is usually the last question: a pitch about yourself. This is your chance to show them you can sell a brand, starting with your own.
3. Hiring Manager Interview
This is the deep dive into your actual work. You’ll talk through your portfolio, how you handle pressure, and how you manage accounts. They are looking for functional expertise and a problem-solving mindset.
4. Final Interview with the Head of department
By now, they know you can do the job; they just want to see if you fit the culture.
Very unprofessional HR and portrays a very negative image upon the company. None of the questions were related to the job role, most of the questions were personal questions. Once the offer was sent to me there was no mention of the salary, just an email and with a notice that they need an immediate response.
