The Real World Management is confused by this post! 1) We currently do not have a position open for a media planner / buyer and have not had an ad placed for this position since the beginning of the year. 2) Our creative director would not be involved in interviewing a media buyer. That responsibility would be left to our 2 media directors and both of them would participate in any media related interview. 3) We thoroughly vette all potential employees before making an offer, including checking references any typically have 2 to 3 in person interviews before an offer is made. 4) I am the president and know for a fact that I did NOT interview any media buyer in April. I was actually traveling on business for the entire month of April and only spent 4 days all month in our office. Additionally, I do not write offer letters. I have an HR department that handles that. And last, salary is always negotiated. Real World looks for A+ team members so we do take our time in the interview process and when we make an offer, we stand by it! Perhaps this person has our company confused with someone else.
