I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Edelman (Hong Kong) in Jun 2011
Interview
The interview was conducted casually 1:1 with two management staff of the recruiting practice which took around 1.5 hours altogether, standard questions were asked and the focus was to see how candidates would share about his experience and interests spontaneously under a natural environment; written test was mandatory, samples of previous writing copies were requested. Interviews and written test were conducted on 2 days separately but this arrangement varies from one candidate to another. The gap period between last interview and offer was unexpectedly long and it is recommended that candidates should take initiative to follow up appropriately in between
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Em basically no difficult question was asked. If I were to name one, the question was asking about what did you exactly do as an in house media relations person on the day when Policy Address was made last year
Several interviews, including a panel one. Hr screening followed by interview with hiring manager and then several VPs in the industry you’re interviewing for eg. Healtg, they ask a lot of technical and work related questions
I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (Chicago, IL) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process was straightforward. I had an initial call with an in-house recruiter. She scheduled me for two hours of back-to-back 30 min interviews the following week. I met with 4 people who mostly asked me the same questions, so it was a bit tiresome by the end of the 2 hours. I should mention that the hiring manager came off as condescending and I could tell he was messaging/emailing during our conversation. One of the interviewers told me that one of the head honchos over there uses the motto that being overworked is a "privilege." Honestly that sounds scary. I did not get an offer, and I was ok with that after meeting with these people.
He tenido varias entrevistas, incluyendo una con cliente. También tuve una presentación de una caso y prueba de personalidad. El proceso ha ido fluyendo, con oportunidad de hacer preguntas al empleador
