CLD PR Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process for CLD was super simple. Instead of a typical face-to-face chat, I had to answer some questions in a document. The questions were about my past experiences, my abilities, and how I'd handle different scenarios. It was nice because I could take my time to really think about my answers and make them clear and well-thought-out. Overall, it felt organized and efficient. Answering questions in a document made it less stressful, as I wasn't pressured to answer on the spot. It also let me fully explain my background and what I can do. The process seemed set up to help the company get to know applicants better while letting candidates show off their skills clearly in writing. The process felt designed to help the organization understand applicants while allowing candidates to present themselves clearly in writing.

I was emailed some questions and sent back my answers. These questions were about my availability, how I'd get around, and how long I could commit for the term. This is an unpaid internship. It's a solid choice for anyone needing any kind of internship.

I scheduled an interview via Zoom. The interviewer was a bit late and didn't have their camera on, offering I turn mine off too. They frequently paused to text and then left for a work call, promising to return in 5-7 minutes. After waiting 20 minutes, I texted and they said they'd have their secretary reschedule. I offered to continue since I was free, and they agreed. However, after waiting three hours with no text, I suggested rescheduling. Days passed with no rescheduling email. I texted again about my interest and lack of follow-up, but received no response. The whole experience was unprofessional and disappointing.

Thought it went well, however in the end the employer was unresponsive and left me without a definitive answer. In the future, a solid yes or no goes a long way!
