First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Davis Elen Advertising.
Marketing
The HR person was super nice and told me how the interview was gonna go. The part that sucked was that I had to make a marketing strategy for a real client they have, plus create some mockups and analyze their audience. I had a whole week to do it. I really don't like doing free work, especially for actual clients. I wouldn't mind if it was for a made-up client, but I'm not gonna do a week's worth of unpaid work for a real company.
- Can you walk us through your background and marketing experience?
Intern
It was a professional but fast interview. They asked me about my past experience and if I'd be a good fit for the company culture. An HR person interviewed me. They mainly wanted to know if I was eager to learn while interning. I heard back about getting the offer about a week after.
- What sparks your interest in this industry?
- In which department do you feel you would fit best?
- Could you share some details about your previous experience?
Art Director
The interview process is pretty straightforward. They just need to know you're not a complete weirdo and have a solid portfolio. I've seen folks get offers on the spot with less-than-stellar books. You'll have a chat with the HR Director and one of the Creative Directors. If they vibe with you (especially if they sense any vulnerability), you might get a freelance trial run or a full-time offer within a few days.
- Are you a psychopath serial killer?
- Do you have a decent portfolio?
- What are your thoughts on your portfolio?
Integrated Media Planner
The hiring process was really long, maybe because of holidays. I had 4 interviews and a bunch of detailed follow-up email questions over more than 3 months. I even had to reach out more than a week after my last interview to find out I didn't get the job.
- Can you describe your experience using the relevant programs?
- Tell me about how you've utilized these programs in past roles.
