The recruiter I spoke with to schedule my interview was really sweet and seemed genuinely interested in me, turns out she studied film too. The location is conveniently close to BART, making it easy to get to. I met with the manager who seemed young but energetic and friendly. The next day, I met my future mentor, who was intense in a good way. This experience led me to choose this opportunity over a startup. They are allowing me to delay my start date until after I move into my in-laws' place in the East Bay, with a start date in two weeks. I'm excited about what's to come.

Behavioral Technical
Applied for a marketing associate role, but it turned out to be a recruiting company disguised as a marketing firm. They hire salespeople, and all new hires start as distributor-salesmen on commission only, selling AT&T and cosmetics. The company structure is ambiguous and seems like a pyramid scheme. Many employees lack marketing/business backgrounds or legitimate degrees. They portray themselves as a direct marketing firm, but it's actually door-to-door sales. Managers brag about making six figures, which seems unrealistic given the sales model and short tenure. The hiring strategy involves calling many applicants for falsified positions, hoping someone accepts. This is not a real marketing firm, but a recruiting firm for desperate individuals lacking credentials.

The interview was pretty standard with the usual questions. My only hang-up was when I asked for more details on the actual job requirements and what a typical day would be like, the interviewer just brushed it off saying those would be covered in the second round. The interview itself was only 20 minutes, and the interviewer did most of the talking. I left without learning much new about the role and was immediately invited to the next round. I kinda wish it had been a phone interview first, and then I would have traveled across town for the second round. The interviewer really didn't get any info he couldn't have gotten over the phone.

I was having a hard time finding marketing jobs because of my accent. I've only been in the US for a year and just got my work visa. While companies didn't explicitly say it, I sensed that many of them weren't keen on my English proficiency. The interviewer I had was really nice and saw my potential, likely due to my extensive retail background from Beijing. I've been with the company for a month now and I'm really enjoying working with my colleagues.
