I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Weber Shandwick (Bengaluru) in Jan 2011
Interview
Got an interview call from the firm for a 1:1 interview with the Practice Head. Was probed on my likes and interests and why I wanted to get into the PR profession along with salary expectations. I was later asked to prepare a press release based on a fictional product launch. Was told that I would hear from the firm on a decision in a day or two and was subsequently offered a position in the firm.

Question 1
What was your past job experience?
What interests you about this company?
Very friendly staff and more casual than usual. They want to know what you have to offer to the company, so pull from past experiences. Qualify yourself as much as possible.
