First up was a Skype call. We chatted about me and my skills and what I knew about their company. They then went over how their private vs public events worked, and I got to ask questions. It was pretty short, like 15-20 mins. Then, the second interview was kind of like an orientation. I went to their office and someone there explained that for the actual interview, I'd need to pick one of their events and get about 100 people to come. It's not about putting on an event, but more about getting people to attend an event they already have planned.

It was a good summer internship experience overall, though the job posting, interview process, and offer were quite misleading. The role was advertised as paid but turned out to be commission-based with goals that were hard to meet. Your success depended entirely on your Facebook network and your ability to persuade people to visit smaller, less popular bars. I did learn valuable sales skills from CTS and it was a FUN summer, but I didn't gain much knowledge about a specific industry or skills for my future career. It taught me to be more thorough in my job search and ask all crucial questions before accepting an offer. The company has likely improved its business model since I was there. They did provide good connections in Chicago.

I sent my resume via email to apply for the job. They got back to me super fast, within two days, and we scheduled an interview. The interview started right on time and was really quick. They asked some standard questions about why I was interested in the company and about my background. It was all pretty brief.

It was pretty relaxed but a little much for a job so uninvolved with people who actually work there. They will "hire" pretty much anyone they just want more ticket sales so going in for an interview that's as extensive as it was is a little odd.
