I applied online. I interviewed at ClutchPR in Jul 2016
Interview
My first interview with Jordan Maahs, went very well. She was extremely kind and professional. My second interview was with the head of the company, Daniela Kelloway. She began by asking me irrelevant questions which had nothing to do with the position (posted below). About a year before, I did a public relations internship but was looking to refresh my skills as I was doing freelance writing for a while. She told me she felt I had no experience and laughed at me when I would answer her questions. She spend most of the time looking at her phone and computer while I was speaking, clearly to indicate that she had no interest in my answers. After making me feel extremely uncomfortable with her questions and telling me about my lack of knowledge (for an internship where there was no previous experience necessary), I started shaking and was completely anxious. She proceeded to ask me (while smirking) if she made uncomfortable, which I found even more unprofessional. I have never in my life had anyone treat me so rudely and belittle me so much, from the minute I walked in the door. When I left the interview, I cried for two hours. It is a horrible environment and she is on a complete power trip. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work at or with this company unless she happens to quit. It has taken me two weeks to go on an interview again: she made me feel that awful! Save yourself from her and this company.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ClutchPR (Toronto, ON) in Apr 2013
Interview
Totally uncomfortable. The boss, I guess her name is Daniela was rude. Not a place I'd recommend anyone apply to unless you want your dreams crushed. The point of an internship is to learn, not to already have experience and have them use you to steal ideas and get free work. Overall, a terrible place and a toxic atmosphere.
