Media Assistant interview questions shared by candidates
I thought the agreement before a phone screening was sketchy so I did not follow through.
3 Answers↳
My apologies it was for a family office assistant role that included some media planning. But regardless, the confidentiality agreement was incredibly intense and uncalled for regardless of which assistant position sir. Any contract that discusses returning “any and all payments or other consideration paid or payable” before you even complete a phone screen is absolutely absurd. Less

I would not recommend interview with a company that wants such strict control about work communication etc. Less

Our firm does not hire media assistants. Hire Society places candidates such as executive housekeepers, butlers, house managers, and chefs within our clients’ private homes. You must have our firm confused with another employer. Less
Would you be fine with working some weekends, having to quickly make posts about breaking news?

Yes. It would be an interesting way to be up to date with global current events.

Yes. After all, four decades working college sports weekends and week-nights as well is pretty fair training. And I could fix up my own bad hot dogs. Less
What is one thing you are currently working on about yourself?
3 Answers↳
I answered that recently with my current job search I have been trying to spend less time working on looking for my ideal job and more time for myself to get my mind of things outside of looking for a job. The interviewer quickly retorted jokingly that this position would make it hard for me to do that with the amount of work and hours I would put in. Less

The above answer seems like it would not get someone a job. I think saying that you are working to become more familiar with the industry by reading books and trade magazines more consistently. Less

I don't think you should play into the media planner's hand on this. Be honest, have integrity, and say something meaningful you are working on. Examples: "I'm trying to listen more intently to others" or "I'm trying to expand my knowledge by reading more books." Make yourself a well-rounded candidate. Less

Quelle campagne vous a le plus marqué pourquoi En quoi cette campagne représente la maison chloé (vous n'avez que quelques minutes pour répondre) Test en anglais
2 Answers↳
Cela prend beaucoup plus de temps que 15 minutes, et les questions sont plutôt difficiles pour un premier entretien!! (on est censé apprendre à vous connaitre...Mais on ne pose aucune question sur vos goûts, c'est plutôt un test) l'intitulé est mensonger, on teste vos connaissance de la marque, on ne cherche pas à connaitre votre personnalité!! Less

Bonjour, Je vous remercie pour votre témoignage sur l'expérience que vous avez eu. J'aurais une question si ce n'est pas trop demandé, le test d'anglais consiste à quoi ? Ce sont des questions sur notre personnalité en anglais ? des questions très scolaires ? ou encore des questions sur la marque en anglais ? Less

''Are you not over qualified for this position? Would you not be degrading your position & designation? After all, you were previously employed as a comm. manager''.
1 Answers↳
''No Sir, I do not believe I would be degrading my position. One can learn something new from any kind of work that one undertakes. Besides, designations are titles that can be subject to different perceptions and interpretations. It is not the title, but the individual and the knowledge that he/she possesses and the nature of the job that matters''. Less
