The hiring process at Signature (TX) takes an average of 5 days when considering 5 user submitted interviews across all job titles. To compare, the average duration of hiring at similar companies like BlackRock, Inc. is 14 days, Fabricated Software, Inc. is 2 days, and Apple Inc. is 21 days. Candidates applying for Public Relations had the quickest hiring process (on average 2 days), whereas Sales Representative roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 7 days).
I received a shockingly quick invitation to interview at their offices after applying online. The office interview gave me a few clues that perhaps the job description was misleading, but I naively agreed to a second interview. The second interview was with one of their employees at a "promotional event"...selling a random item at a Sam's/Costco type store.
Their employee was very friendly and nice, and I learned the extent to which their online postings and email communications had misrepresented this company. This was not a job at an "advertising firm" working on "brand development" for "prestigious clients." This was a job with very low base pay trying to sell mediocre items to membership club shoppers in hopes of making enough in commission to have a decent salary.
After learning what this position really entailed, I declined the third and final interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The questions in the first interview were just basic "sell yourself" type questions. In the second interview, I wasn't asked to try to sell the product, just observe, but made a couple sales anyway and that seemed to go over well.

Interview
I received call from the human resources department about my resume that I submitted for the public relations assistant. I spoke to the lady and was scheduled to come in the next day to sit down with the hiring team. I was pretty excited because I have been unemployed since I graduated a month ago. My parents were pretty much on top of me everyday. I was just relieved to get an interview. All I was getting calls about was for door to door sales! Thank goodness this was not. I am happy I waited it out till this role came along!

Interview
The interview process was good experience for me. I got an email about the role I was hoping to get. I set up an interview with the HR team and the next week I came in for my interview. They had music playing and it seemed like girl at the front desk was nice. She was busy typing away but she popped her head up and smiled at me. Then the boss came out and we went into his office for my interview. He seemed nice as well. The job sounded like I was going to stay pretty busy here at the office and be able to do multiple things at once. I hope I can handle the challenge! Still awaiting a cal :)
