Business Development Executive at Brafton

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Boston, MA Jul 2012 – Reviewed Feb 25, 2013

Interview Details – Great streamlined process. Plan on allocating at least 1 hour for each interview. Maybe more if you can, because if they see potential they may ask if you have time to meet with upper management on that same day. So definitely make sure you have planned accordingly.

Interview Question – The questions were pretty expected   Answer Question

Negotiation Details – It was good. Streamlined.

Content Marketing Specialist at Brafton

No Offer – Interviewed in Chicago, IL – Reviewed Feb 15, 2013

Interview Details – Terrible experience. One of interviewers was on his laptop the entire time and often interrupted me mid-speech. I felt like no one cared right when I walked in the door, and honestly put a sour taste in my mouth throughout the entire process.

At the end of my interview I was asked, "so, why are you here?"...maybe if they listened to me instead of working on their laptop they would know the answer.

News & Content Writer at Brafton

Accepted Offer – Reviewed Oct 6, 2012

Interview Details – The interview process was well done in my opinion. It consisted of me submitting my information online and then coming in for a face to face interview. During the face to face, I met with the director of operations and he asked me a number of typical interview questions but expressed his desire for honest answers. He was one individual who I believed his sincerety and felt completely comfortable providing him with honest answers and not the typical interview answers I know most places like to hear. After our face to face interview, I was asked to take a series of quizzes in the office that tested my general knowledge in certain areas like politics, business, current events, pop culture, etc. I was also asked to complete a quick thinking test where I had roughly 30 seconds per question on general information or quick puzzles. Finally, I was asked to perform an editing test to demonstrate my editing abilities for 2 or 3 sample articles. After this, I went home and was asked to complete a 90 minute writing test from home later that week. I was expect to write three 200-word essays (180 to 220 words) in 90 minutes (including reading the prompt or press release, doing additional research for each one, writing the piece and then editing) After I completed all these things, I was offered a position in exactly a week's time since the writing test.

Marketing Research at Brafton

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Oct 2010 – Reviewed Apr 10, 2012

Interview Details – I was first contacted via email by a manager, then I was brought in for a one on one interview, but first I was left alone in a room for twenty minutes to complete an aptitude test.. Which was not hard but kind of surprising considering it was 8am and I was out in the room without even meeting anyone yet. After the test, I was interviewed by the vice pres, who acted extremely serious and almost like he was trying to intimidate, but it turns out he's actually a really nice guy. Just a game face I guess. He did falsify the realm of job responsibilities , telling me I would be doing one thing and in fact I was doing something COMPLETELY different, which was a bummer.
