I was contacted after emailing the team directly if there were openings, and was turned away. A few weeks later I was contacted again that they were looking for an administrative assistant. 1st step I talked with a team member, he was friendly and asked if I certain calendar and event planning experience, and though I didn't, he ensured it was fine and would still be a strong candidate. He followed up calling me in for an-person interview in NYC a few days later. Being an out-of-state candidate, I tried my best to work around their schedule, but they re-scheduled twice-- which was difficult after booking travel arrangements. They finally told me the manager "barely had time," and squeezed me in for an interview at 7pm. The team was incredibly friendly, and I really loved everyone's personalities. When I got there I was given a tour, mingled a bit, but had to wait for the manager for another hour and a half... After the team talked to their manager privately, it looks like the interviewing infrastructure changed at the last-minute, so I was "interviewed" by two team members until the manager was done with her meeting. The interview with the two team members was wonderful, they were very personable, empathetic, and invested in listening to my experiences. Finally, I was told to wait as the manager comes down. Nadine Johnson was wonderful to meet, though she was exhausted, and seemed unprepared to interview me. She told me to have a seat, and reviewed my resume for a few minutes, without asking me anything-- meaning she hadn't reviewed me as a candidate beforehand, which felt a bit insulting coming from so far. I was really disappointed in the unprofessionalism of such a prestigious PR firm. The interview itself wasn't really an interview. She asked me only two questions, talked about her life story, and then personal questions about my life and where I came from. Most of the discussion was her telling me why PR is an impossible field, and why basically no candidate is sufficient enough for the role I was interviewing for. She ended the interview by asking if I was Jamaican, and insisted I was black because of my hair and skin color, which I found to be racist. And after that she simply said "I'll see you out." I've never been more disappointed by an interview process, and wish there was more respect and time invested given a candidate was coming in as an out-of-state candidate, and as I had organized my entire trip around the interview.
