Sorry I feel like this is a dumb question but what is SG

It's tough as a junior to live across multiple channels at the bigger shops since the roles are so execution oriented. I'd encourage you to focus on one channel specifically, and as you grow your career start looking for opportunities to oversee multiple tactics as you get into more strategic roles.

You're definitely right to explore other channels - keep expanding your knowledge base because that's a selling point for interviews.

Have you undertaken the Google DBM (DV360) certification? If you have not then I would encourage you to do so, as this will help you in the recruitment function. Make sure that when you apply you include a cover letter which calls out your experience and commitment to learning other channels by following self certification. Also, send a note to the agency/group recruiter and inform them of your application. Final point, if you are not a local, PR or PEP holder in SG then it will be harder (not impossible) for you to secure a junior position.

Best of luck.

Yes SG is Singapore

Hi, I am PR & I applied to GroupM, but was rejected. The HR told me most agencies prefer people who already had agency experience. I have just completed an aptitude test with Essence & I am waiting for result now.

I have not taken Double click nor Display & video 360 yet. But I will work on it in my free time. Thanks for the advice.

Thank you😊

With the possibility of converting to a permanent role, if I work hard to learn

Are u in GroupM Singapore too?
