Job interview for advertising company?

i have applied for an internship with a well known advertising agency in my city. they say the interview will take the form of a presentation. can anyone offer any ideas on what to do or how this works? i know they are also going to ask me about my reasons for being in this field and will ask about my favourite ads as they have informed me about this. should i come up with an ad campaign selling myself to them, and if so, can anyone help in terms of how i could go about doing this and make it fun/exciting/interesting? thank you so much, your input will be highly valued and i will thank all of you if i get this internship!

Job interview for advertising company?
Easy ... do a campaign on why they should hire you.





Use all the skills you have learned in school. Remember, you are not competing with advertising professionals. You are competing with other students.





Your campaign should sell a product ... YOU!





Write a TV spot, a radio spot, a newspaper ad and a direct mail piece, etc. on why this agency should hire an intern that can contribute now to helping their clients succeed. Present this at your job interview just like you would present it to a prospective client.





Good luck.
Reply:doing a campaign about yourself sounds great. maybe come up with a campaign for a product or service they maybe working on at the time of the interview. example they are doing a campaign for pepsi for christmas theme. do something for that. who knows they may take components of your campaign for the final product.
