I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Mercury Marketing and Communications (Stamford, CT) in Jan 2022
Interview
I spoke with the company president on Zoom, and then with the person I was going to be supporting, a more senior account executive. The first interview focused on my background and temperament, and the second focused on my experience and process as a writer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I think one of the most effective approaches the company president took was to ask me to rate myself from 1 to 10 on various dimensions, both in terms of skills and personality. While this may sound simplistic, it led to good conversations about why I gave each answer. I feel that she understood me much better as a result than many other interviewers have done.
