You don't get an interview. You are provided with the most ridiculous 2-part assessment. To think I was actually excited to be considered for this role, all for the most impersonal disregard of my time. Doing calculations across several pages of Excel sheets???? Excuse me? If you are someone who is even a little unsure about how calculations/formulas work inside an Excel sheet, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. No role should require such labor before even speaking with a human. SHAME ON LINJER FOR THIS DISRESPECTFUL PROCESS. As a strong candidate for any role within influencer marketing, I deserved more, and you do too. Trust me.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
1. Sample Customer Care Exercise
Since this role (as well as many other roles/responsibilities within Linjer) involves communicating with outside stakeholders and representing our brand, we'd like for you to complete an exercise that Customer Care Specialist applicants work through as part of their initial screen. This is a series of 5 example customer inquiries to which we ask you to respond according to [they send you their “Tone of Voice” guidelines].
Please complete all of your responses in one sitting - we'll ask for your start and end times so we can get a sense of how quickly you work through the questions, but no need to get anxious about timing!
2. Excel Test
This is a test of your excel skills and ability to learn something new. This should take about 30 minutes to an hour to complete, and you’ll need Excel or Google Sheets. [They tell you to copy and paste the excel sheet they send]
We ask that you try to complete both exercises within 5 calendar days.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Linjer in May 2025
Interview
Received an email stating to do an Analytical excel assignment. Fairly sure most my answers were right and was really confident with them (You’ll understand when you do it). Got a rejection later.
I don’t understand why or what they would expect but you probably need to be an Excel guru to be honest…. V disappointed
Like all the other reviews, the interview process is pretty similar for other positions; it's a multistep process, and they focus a lot on your past metrics rather than your current work style. They also focus a lot on having a *good* cover letter. The interview didn't really ask much about me now but rather what I did before and my performance in past jobs.
