How hard is it to get into agencies as a fresh grad or at least someone with intern experience?

I came across many jobs from companies like Assembly global, WPP and Dentsu. most of them mention around 0-2 years experience or no experience/fresh grad welcome. For those who got into the industry after graduation or finishing internships after graduating/before graduating, what is your experience like? Would like to know some useful info + tips and tricks especially for application and interviews

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience. I am graduating this December with my BBA and am ready to leave the job I’m in now. I’ve been applying for a range of positions I qualify for and nothing so far, which I expected. I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅

Hi All, how much time it takes to genrate offer letter after 2 round of interviews at Crisil.

Hi Google - I am requesting guidance!

I am prepping for my interview specifically GCA and open ended questions. I struggle to tell if the outcome should be talking through your process/steps (maybe for a question like - how would you go about determining program complexity) vs a specific solution such as create x new product, for x market by x date based on my assumptions. Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?
