Entrevista
4 Contact points/interviews made:
1) Initial introductory phone call by a recruiter to discuss salary, a rundown of the the role, overview of the entire interview process and who the hiring manager is and that they’ll be reaching out to me
2) Second phone call with the hiring manager/supervisor of the creative team. A chance to casually get to know you and introduce themselves, talk about the role and team, expectations and growth opportunity, what they’re looking for, about the department you’ll be working for (Last Mile). Phone call was set for an hour, but it was ok that we went over time scheduled. He forwarded me on to speak with another member of the team.
3) Follow-up interview phone call with another member of the team, questions were asked here (i.e 3 leadership principal-related questions about my experience and situational examples). Phone call lasted an hour. I was eventually forwarded onto the final stage in the process. Loop (virtual) members.
4) Final loop (virtual) interview. Scheduled all day from 9AM–4PM. This consisted of a part one and part two. Part 1: hour long portfolio presentation. Part 2: leadership principal-based questions asked by all interviewers. They were divided up into rounds/groups throughout the day. The panelists/interviewers were the hiring manager, members of the team, bar-raiser, and the same recruiter I had been working with throughout the entire interview process who helped facilitate.

Pregunta 1
Tell me about a time you when you did something outside of your scope of work or responsibilities. What was it? What was the outcome?
The interview was a great experience and offered valuable learning opportunities. The interviewers were extremely kind, supportive, and helpful throughout the process. However, I realized the importance of staying highly focused and precise, especially when delivering STAR-based answers. Accuracy and clarity in structuring responses play a crucial role, and candidates should remain attentive to ensure their answers align with the question.

Long interviews, mainly behavioral questions. Overemphasis on STAR-format answers. Cold and overly formal structure that feels artificial and soulless. No feedback if you’re rejected despite all the time and effort you gave them.

Worked with a recruiter who was great! Had an interview scheduled but it was cancelled by the company at the last minute. The application/personality test process was extensive and very detailed, took over two and a half hours to thoughtfully complete.
