One of the many things Gragg Advertising is known for is our continued growth as a Kansas City advertising agency. For 12 of the last 14 years Gragg Advertising has made the “100 Fastest Growing Companies” list in Ingram’s magazine. We get repeated requests for tips on how to best apply for a job and interview at Gragg Advertising, so we decided to come up with a little cheat sheet for our process.

Steps to the Gragg Advertising application process:

1. Check www.careerbuilder.com and/or www.graggadv.com for Gragg Advertising job postings
2. Submit a resume through CareerBuilder or send it to recruitment@graggadv.com.
3. If your resume and qualifications meet the needs of the job you’re applying for, an electronic interview (e-interview) will be sent to you.
4. If an e-interview is sent to you, fill it out to the best of your ability and email it back to Gragg Advertising in the designated time allotted.
5. If your answers to our e-interview questions meet the qualifications, we’ll invite you to meet face-to-face with some of our management team.
6. During the interview process the managers will ask you questions based off of your answers to the e-interview questions.
7. If your interview goes smoothly and the managers like how you answered the questions – and in general, if you gave them the “WOW” factor – we’ll either contact you with a job offer or invite you back for a second interview.
   1. If offered a job at Gragg Advertising:
      1. i.      You accept – WELCOME to Gragg Advertising!
      2. ii.      If you decline – bummer – we’re sorry not to have you on our team.
   2. If asked back for a second interview, you’ll meet with either the President of the company and/or or the Agency Director.
      1. i.      If you give the President and/or the Agency Director the “WOW” factor, we’ll contact you with a job offer.
         1. You accept – WELCOME to Gragg Advertising!
         2. If you decline – bummer again – we’re sorry not to have you on our team.

         So there it is. Gragg Advertising has a pretty simple, yet deliberate, application and interview process for finding the most motivated and talented advertising professional in Kansas City. We’re hiring now for positions throughout the agency, so be sure to check in about job opportunities at Gragg Advertising!
