describe a time when your listening skills were important
The interview process was a bit different as it went through Skype chat. The interview was with a VP with their parent company DotDash. Questions were all experience based. The interview was over in about 45 mins, mainly because I used the mobile app.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Investopedia in Feb 2017
Interview
First interview was an over-the-phone behavioral interview with HR / recruiter. Nothing technical - the interview was mostly questions about background and experience. The person I spoke with was very nice and professional - the conversation flowed incredibly smoothly.
