Do mid-level copywriters typically have any sort of influence in hiring? Meaning, can they put in referrals for junior level/intern applicants? Is it better to try and network with CD’s or CW’s?

I'd say senior and above have the influence. But hey, if a mid-level can get you a meeting, that's just as important.

Especially if you’ve worked with that mid level before and he she is liked respected at the agency I would think

I’m a junior and have referred people who have then been interviewed for positions higher than mine. The only reason I haven’t referred the last three people wanting to intern at my shop is because their books were not yet there. I may be lower level, but I have taste and know what’s good. I’m also older, so maybe that makes a difference with my confidence and ability to decipher needs and qualifications.

I interviewed for a position at EY-Parthenon three weeks ago and haven't heard anything about the outcome since then. I wrote to HR last week seeking update but haven't heard back yet. How do I proceed? The interview was a 'first stage interview' with the director after completing the assessment. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
