I met representatives at a school event, introduced myself and got their contact information.

I also had to fill out a questionnaire.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at WPP (New York, NY) in Feb 2011
Interview
The interviewers were often confused, didn't read my resume, didn't know a lot about the job requirements. They mostly spoke about the clients personalities and company culture. My impression of the office wasn't great it seemed dark and dingy but the people were nice and fun.
