It was brief, they want to make sure you can interact professionally with clients during auction previews. Speaking a second language is a plus. It helps to have an employee referral, especially if that person is already a gallery assistant. Most of the interview was very basic questions, it seems more like they just want to see how you interact with people.

It is a video interview. I recently interviewed for the Mandarin-speaking Gallery Assistant role at Christie's in London and thought I’d share my experience in case it helps anyone. Process: It was pretty straightforward: one interview stage (5 minutes). Mine was conversational but structured. Nothing overly intimidating.
