    We always have 2 interns at any one time. There is a waiting list stretching through to 2013 now. We interview lots after they graduate and pick the best ones. We pay our interns per week.
    Obviously with turnaround of 2 interns per month/6 weeks, we can't hire them all. No design company hires 2 new junior designers every month. But with so many coming through the studio, it becomes pretty obvious when one shines. When they do, we hire them.

    Lesson: try really hard, make the effort during your internship and you may very well get hired. If not, you still might get some freelance work, or a referral to another agency. Remember that people who work in agencies are well connected with other agencies!
