I applied online. I interviewed at Houston Grand Opera

Interview

The process begins smoothly. First interview is about 15 min. with HR, second interview is with immediate managers, and third is with director. The resume portal is a pain leading to lost emails and lost communication. All things were good up until third round; ended up being completely ghosted.

Interview Questions
  • From HR: If you need an answer to complete a project and no one is around, what do you do?

Interview

I interviewed with two women in the marketing department, they were professional and very friendly. The interview itself was easy enough. Here’s the negative : I was told Someone would reach back out to me. Never did. Even after a follow up. It was very unprofessional.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Houston Grand Opera (Houston, TX) in Jun 2019

Interview

I had a phone interview then went to an in-person interview. The in-person interview was weird due to some meeting, so I met with the 3 people for 3 separate in-person interviews back to back. The interview seemed fine, was introduced to everyone, and was told they would call me back to let me know if I was accepted or declined. I reached out to various people and never heard a peep. Very unprofessional and really left a sour taste in my mouth over a job I was overqualified for.

Interview Questions
  • Basic resume information like tell me a little about yourself

Interview

Very professional and expeditious process. From the time I was first contacted to the decision date it was more than one working week. Interviewed first over the phone with the Director then set the in person interview for within 3 days. I had interview with the Director again, lasting about an hour and a half. Received notice of final decision within the week.

Interview

The levels of the process make sense and should be a good method for discerning candidates who will fit well with the company. However, the process is long and drawn out with unclear timeframes and little communication.

Graphic Designer

Recently applied for a job as a graphic designer. Thought it was weird since the job posting didn’t list the actual website but only company name. Went ahead and reached out to the CEO and she said they already hired for this position. Yet the job was posted yesterday on Glassdoor, but it’s not posted on LinkedIn. Do any of you think that Glassdoor isn’t as reliable in terms of being the first applicant to a job posting?

Bright logik

What is it with hiring managers asking for 4-6 interviews to then ask for a sales/Go To Market plan too? 30 60 90 day plan shared with a hiring managers is like giving references… I wouldn’t list anyone who will speak negative of me. However, asking candidates to develop presentations has to stop. Asking a candidate to devote hours of their personal time without being compensated and create these decks need to stop. In 2 interviews hiring managers should be able to determine your fit.
