The interview process was very pleasing. Asked me why I decided to study art history and why did I choose Sotheby's.

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 2 days)
Atlanta Fine Homes typically hires experienced agents, however some of our most successful agents came to us as rookies and have been incredible. If you know your market and are committed to a full time real estate career this could be an option. Knowing your market and being able to sell yourself to the Managing Broker is very important. The company is VERY prestigous and VERY professional so keep that in mind!

Interviewed Mar 2011 (took 1 week)
I got the name of someone in HR from a fellow alumnus. HR reached out to me for a phone interview, and we went through my resume together. Set up an in-person interview for the next week. HR was friendly and professional, and told me to keep in touch. I e-mailed several times over the course of the next few months but never got a response.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Somewhat challenging experience for an initial interview with new HR 'Early Career Recruiter' and her supervisor (for quality assurance purposes, I assume.) Was asked a variety of standard questions pertaining to experience listed on my resume in seemingly random order for nearly an hour, what was your greatest accomplishment in this position, why did you leave that position, what did you like least about this position. No behavioral-type questions. Supervisor chimed in at the end to answer my questions about the position, but no job role overview given during the interview. Stiff atmosphere, hard to gauge interviewers' responses, not quite as conversational as most other interviews I've had. Intimidation factor higher than anticipated.

It was pretty straight forward. Just met with the administrator in the office and she asked me about my experiences that would apply to the job.

Interviewed Jun 2008 in New York, NY (took 4 days)
I was called in through a recruiter for this position. Interview process was a three-part process. Initially I had a quick interview with Human Resources to screen if I was a viable candidate, in other words, they were checking to see if I was mentally stable, ect. The 2nd round I interviewed with managers. 3rd with the controller.
