This was a group interview. There were 5 of us in the room, all posed a question, and then had to speak up popcorn style to respond. The questions were all retail / customer service oriented, not about museum or arts experience.

Question 1
What would you do if a pregnant woman asks to use the museum restroom while the museum is closed?
Group interview then private one on one. People rushed to speak and took up space so saying something thats relative, and stands out is important. I think perspective is key

Question 1

I applied online. I interviewed at Whitney Museum (New York, NY) in Jun 2016
Interview
One group interview. I interviewed with three other people. The questions were only customer service scenarios. They don't ask about the museum or anything. They want to know mainly how you would handle various situations that might occur. After the interview, they separate all the interviewees and ask for your resume and application. Maybe at this point, they’ll tell you whether or not you got the job, but for me, they just told me I was free to explore the museum.
