I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at WME (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2011
Interview
It began simple enough with a computer test, which tested my grammar and typing speed. Then I waited 45 minutes for the interviewer, who was not friendly at all. He looked very bored while he read a list of questions and took notes about my answers. He had no response to any of them. He even timed one of my answers to a question (one minute). It was extreme pressure, which I suppose I understand for that company. Still, it was very, very unpleasant.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you describe yourself as ambitious, driven, or outgoing?
I first met with a recruiter who then referred me to the agent I’d be assisting. They asked questions about my taste in films and career aspirations. The interview was about an hour long and I hear back that I got the job a few days later.
It was nice and very speedy. The interviewee was also great. However, I ended up choosing a different company to work for. All good in the end! Life has a funny way of working out sometimes
The interview was straightforward, and the interviewer was very easy to talk to. It took awhile to get hired after the interview–they had to wait for an opening–but once I got to the interview stage, things felt pretty transparent.
