What kinds of behavioral questions should I be prepared for in a second & final round interview for an Associate Copywriter role at an ad agency? I am also doing a presentation on two writing samples.

The biggest behavior question is usually some version of “how do you normally work with a partner?” Or more broadly “what’s your working style?”

This is to gauge how you concept and come up with ideas and also get a sense of who (ideally an assoc. art director) you might pair well with.

Answering that question also says a lot about how much you know about making work.

Not at all! If they’re interviewing you it usually means they like you enough to hire you, this question is usually more about placement within their existing teams.
