I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ogilvy (Ho Chi Minh City) in Dec 2023
Interview
1. HR Phone Screen
This is a quick "vibe check." Expect the basics: your background, strengths, weaknesses, and the "money talk" (salary expectations). It’s mostly to see if you’re a match on paper and personality.
2. The Assessment Test
Next, you’ll get a written test (usually 3 questions). They want to see your "marketing sense"—how you analyze a campaign and think on your feet. The kicker is usually the last question: a pitch about yourself. This is your chance to show them you can sell a brand, starting with your own.
3. Hiring Manager Interview
This is the deep dive into your actual work. You’ll talk through your portfolio, how you handle pressure, and how you manage accounts. They are looking for functional expertise and a problem-solving mindset.
4. Final Interview with the Head of department
By now, they know you can do the job; they just want to see if you fit the culture.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mi experiencia en cuentas, con los clientes. Todo fue muy positivo.
Very unprofessional HR and portrays a very negative image upon the company. None of the questions were related to the job role, most of the questions were personal questions. Once the offer was sent to me there was no mention of the salary, just an email and with a notice that they need an immediate response.
