Entrevista
I was contacted for an interview after replying to a posting on a Job Board. The first interview was with a co-owner via Zoom. This was followed up with an in person panel interview. Finally a third interview with a smaller panel to answer technical questions. The first panel consisted of 6 people. Each person pre-reviewed my resume and created questions to ask in the interview. Very organized. Questions were pre-printed for the team. They used most of the time to ask me questions and I was only able to ask 3 or 4 questions due to time constraints. The last panel was 3 people with a list of 15 technical questions. I suggested that while marketing was somewhat subjective and no two teams would perform the same way. So, knowing how prepared the previous team was in the last panel interview, I pre-created three cases studies to indicate how I would respond in 3 different scenarios based on their targeted clients. Each in it's own folder and REAL companies. I said, I may never answer the way you did but, we may have common ground. They agreed that there is no 100% correct answer and simply wanted my opinion and thoughts process. In the end and after 3 interviews I asked when they hoped to make a decision. I was told within a week. That was more than 3 weeks ago. And despite sending a Thank you card and a follow up email - I have been fully ghosted. Not even a rejection email. I'd like to think that they treat their clients better than their prospects. In the end, I suppose that it was an insight to how the company works. I've been around for a while and common courtesy goes a long way - even if it's negative information. My friends think I dodged a bullet.
Perguntas de entrevista [1]
Pergunta 1
1st Interview was average - on Zoom. Tell me about yourself type questions.
2nd Interview: Questions were pre-prepared based on my resume. Typed out, color coded and shared with the panel members. Each panelist created and asked their own question from my CV.
3rd Interview: Technical Questions.
One question I was asked was: "What would you say to a client whose budge was 100% spent in one day?"
I should have said "I can't answer that, because in my entire career - I've NEVER made that mistake". Assuming that it was a REAL scenario in the context of the situation - I said I would simply explain that a well built campaign could get an abundance of unexpected traffic that would drive up cost and we'd better manage the campaign" - This didn't seem to fly -based on the looks I got.

Entrevista
I can't speak highly enough about Chris, The CEO of Firm Media, and his team. They are extremely warm, welcoming, and represent the type of work ethic that embodies "The American Dream." It may sound a little cheesy and scripted, but it's true.
Their office's culture and dynamics seem to be top-notch because everyone is in a great mood and, even though you're going in for an interview, it feels like you are meeting amongst longtime friends.
Also ,they clearly value character higher than most companies, and if that is important to you I suggest taking them up on an interview if you get the chance. I almost passed when they initially contacted me, due to their distance from me, but I'm glad I took them up on the offer. Ultimately, we were too far apart on numbers, but that's business.
Even though things didn't work out after two interviews, Chris contacted me personally to commend me on my presentation as a candidate and want he saw in my character. It was easily the kindest email a CEO has ever sent me and it speaks volumes about him and his company.
