What’s the best part about working here?

OK, but are you guys going to hire me after the internship is over?
We have a pretty good track record of hiring interns but can’t make any promises.
Hiring decisions involve a lot of considerations and factors, including individual performance, client fit, and staffing needs. Whether you get hired or not, rest assured that our internship program will prepare you for a career in advertising.

CL is a hybrid workplace, but office location and requirements vary by role, so please refer to specific department requirements.
Do I need to be a college graduate?
Depends on the department. Please see specific requirements within each department listing.
How do I ensure my application is reviewed and has the best shot of getting noticed?
