Vacancies
The G Academy
Others kick your door down.
We’re looking to recruit several recent graduates as trainee account handlers into our G Academy.
The lucky applicants will receive a thorough training induction across all aspects of the agency.
Lasting a month, this will include time in Account Handling, Production, HR/IT/Finance, Artwork and Creative teams, and be a great insight into life at a full service ad agency.
But – as you’d expect – we’re only after certain types of people.
You’ll be raw, hungry (not in the food sense) and a confident self-starter. And it goes without saying that you’ll have the ability to work on your own initiative, as well as being able to demonstrate your commitment to client service and effective teamwork.
In return, you’ll get a training programme devised by an Investor in People (so you know it’ll be good) and you’ll work with some great colleagues in a fantastic environment.
And if that weren’t enough, you’ll also get a competitive salary and benefits including private health care and profit share opportunities. Wowser.
Closing date for applications is 30 June 2013.
