    Interview process

    I had a phone interview which was conducted by the head of recruitment at Starcome Mediavest. It lasted around half an hour. During this time we spoke about why I was interested in the role, what I thought it would involved, and why I thought my degree would be helpful. We also spoke about Starcom Mediavest, and she was very interested in seeing how much I knew about the company. At the end of the interview, she gave me a chance ask anything I would like to know.
    I found it quite difficult to speak on the phone; it was a new experience and this threw me a bit. I also felt there was little time to think about what I wanted to say- it was difficult not to be able to see the interviewers reaction.

    Most difficult question

    We describe ourselves at Starcom Mediavest as a 'Human Experience Company'... What do you think this means, and how do you think it effects our work?
