how did a professional accomplishment make you feel and why?
I applied online. I interviewed at Nielsen (Sydney) in Jun 2026
Interview
Very straight forward process, HR sent an email asking for availability and I met with the hiring manager and there was no case study round. He was quick to decide if he wanted to hire from the first interview.
Interview consisted of one day - 4 hours combined Q&A session, role play, drafting emails and creating an account strategy. I knew at the end of the session that I would be hired.
I applied online. I interviewed at Nielsen in Nov 2024
Interview
Interviewer was a no show for the first interview. It was rescheduled to the next week. Less than 10 minutes from the rescheduled interview, I received an email from the interviewer that HR closed the position for end of the year budget. Proceed with caution and get clarification about the position before spending the time to get prepared like I did.
