Summer Intern at Edelman
No Offer – Interviewed in New York, NY – Reviewed Apr 16, 2013
Interview Details – The interview process went smoothly. I went to the PH floor then was sent down to the 10th floor to meet with two people that were supposed to interview me. I was a little lost on my way to the office on the 10th floor, but other employers who were in the elevator helped me out, so I found them really friendly. I ended up having my interview with just one person, but I really enjoyed it as it was basically just a conversation regarding my interest in the company and working in a PR agency.
Interview Question – If I can choose, what will be the product or brand that I want to do PR for? Answer Question

Associate Program at Edelman
No Offer – Reviewed Mar 20, 2013
Interview Details – Applied through my University and sent my resume. Was contacted for a 30 minute interview on campus.

There were supposed to be two people interviewing and one stepped out for my interview and I felt this was a little unfair.
