Interview Details – Questions asked by human resources were pretty generic. Same question you would hear from any other interview to understand your qualifications and education. The department asked questions regarding your personality and whether you would be a fit for the team based on your experiences. However, meeting the department gives you a better understand of the position and your tasks/responsibilities.

Interview Details – Filled out an online application and a week later I had a 10-15 minute phone interview about my education, background, and what I was looking for in a career. I set up an interview the next week in New York where I spoke with the recruiter and 3 to 4 employees who I would be working under. The job was something anybody could do, it is just a matter of whether or not you want to do it or if you are a good for for their team. Over and over I was told how this position was not going to be exciting, very challenging, or what you would think of when one thinks of working in advertising. I received a job offer but ultimately declined due to a low salary and the fact that the job did not seem interesting at all.

Interview Details – I first had a phone interview that went very well. We ended up scheduling an in person interview a few days later. The day before my interview I got a call saying they had selected another candidate and that my interview was canceled.

Interview Details – Submitted my resume through a friend who works there, contacted by HR for an interview. Went into the office to meet with multiple team members. HR was very disorganized throughout the process and did not book a room for the interview, so it was done in the reception area which I felt was very unprofessional. I felt like the interview with the team went really well, but I never heard back from the company afterwards even after trying to contact them. The entire process did not make me want to work at Initiative and I am happy that I was able to secure a job at another agency.

Interview Details – I sent in my resume and heard back about a week later. Then was scheduled for an interview for the following week. The interview took just over an hour. I met with 3 different people who are all a part of a team. They were all very nice and made me feel comfortable. The office itself has a very fun vibe with basketball hoops and video game rooms.

Interview Details – The recruiter and the panel that I interviewed with were very friendly. There were technical questions to ensure that I had the skills required of the position. Felt it was fairly easy if you are familiar with digital marketing. The panel made sure to ask questions to gauge my personality to see if I was a fit for the team.

Interview Details – Got contacted by HR recruiter on Linkedin. Had a 1:1 phone interview with HR, asking me generic questions about job duties (HR had no idea what they were talking about).

Came in for 1:1 a few days and was greeted with a media quiz by the prospective Supervisor.

Then was brought back for another 1:1 with prospective Account Director a few days later.

Was offered position 2 days later.

Negotiation Details – No, try to negotiate

Interview Details – HR was unorganized. Did not confirm interview time/dates until the very last minute. Did not return phone calls/emails.

The media teams I interviewed with were much more professional. They were easy to talk to and I felt comfortable during the entire interview. I was not offered a position, but I think that was due to my lack of knowledge about the job. Do your researcch!
