      Junior Strategist Interview

      27 Apr 2013
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chicago, IL
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at OMD (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2011

      Interview

      OMD is a part of a giant entity so my ability to get an interview was of course through a personal friend. I doubt if large corporate companies take the time to filter though every resume that comes to their main websites. I had three interviews in one day. Two with the immediate associates I would be supporting on that account and one with the Lead over the account. The interview was straight forward and didn't present many riddles or thought bending questions. Mainly just, why do you want to work here, tell me about your past experiences. Describe a time when you had to work under pressure What are your weaknesses..etc.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The most difficult thing was not getting the job and hearing that the reason I didn't get it was because the decision makers felt my past experiences were too colorful, creative and worldly. So in turn they felt I wouldn't put my heart and joy into being a number counting media planner. My close connection let me know that it would have been better to spend my experiential and creative passions could have been held back a little more.
