      Senior Executive Assistant Interview

      17 May 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Candescent (New York, NY) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      Applied online, had to chase recruiter several times to schedule initial interview. Onsite panel interview with COO and CMO followed. Tried my best to engage on a human level but could not connect with either as both were generally just out of touch. COO was microaggressive and contradictory whose nonverbals were a dead giveaway he didn’t like me from the start. Basically wanted someone available 24/7. CMO was nice and seemed more intelligent but made a throwaway comment that I researched her Facebook when there are online editorials on her. (Like, what? It’s not 2010.) I’d also mentioned three times that I read an article en route. A marketing expert should know their own digital footprint. Role required to be onsite 5x a week to manage the new office and due to the company culture’s “private equity feel.” (My fiancé’s a founding partner at a global PE firm with a hybrid working model btw.) Three separate roles are consolidated into one position at below-market rate. Rejected via automated system shortly after meeting… thank god.
