Today I had my internship interview with the CEO of Y&R, Eduardo Grisolle. I was so nervous. I had never done an interview before and this was my only chance to shine and allow me to get the internship.
My day had not been good; I had an allergy all over me. I had red spots and they were starting to spread around my body so I was not very confident or ready for the interview. I was not feeling well. When I got to the office I PANICKED, the door opened and the secretary received me, She was very nice and welcoming. Everything in the office was VERY VERY cool, the synthetics grass and the music playing around. the ambiance was so positive and lively. Since they promote many companies, they are always creating innovative and cool advertisements, commercials and more. Day-to-day they need to feel C R E A T I V E to create engaging and original promotions for their costumers. The atmosphere here clearly embraced creativity, fun and it certainly helped motivate the employees; allowed them to feel relaxed and free, they could wear anything to work.

After waiting for a while, Eduardo came down and greeted me. We went to his office where the interview took place. He was very interesting, it was clear he was the CEO because of the way he dressed, and kind. As we walked upstairs the environment just got even more amazing, each employee had their own HUGE Apple computer that they decorated with stickers, magnets and pictures to make it more personal and entertaining I couldn't get more excited; I just wanted to start the internship in that moment.
In the beginning it felt a little awkward because he asked a variety of questions, but then everything was going so well that the interview begun to flow more.
Once the interview ended he showed me around. The small offices were unbelievable, some had synthetic grass and had really cool glass boards where they brainstormed ideas and they drew things. The thrilling thing about this company is that they don't divide their office by sectors instead they have different offices where different people, with different specialities, work on a single project. There where rooms for the Cristal project, Movistar, Banco Financiero and more projects. I was able to visit the Cristal room, in the center there was a table with beer bottles, cans and ads from Cristal. The reason behind this is to keep them exposed to the product they have to market and therefore they get inspired and creative while working on their promotion and coming up with new ideas.
This was truly a great experience, I can't explain how eager and happy I felt when I was inside. For me it was like a Google office. I can perfectly picture myself working here. I truly believe that the employees love working there and I can't wait to get my own experience.
