Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Creative Artists Agency.
Assistant
I had two interviews with HR, which were pretty chill and focused on getting to know me. Then, I had an in-person interview with the agent. That one was more formal, but it was still about understanding my background and experience and how it fits the job.
- What do you expect salary-wise?
- Could you walk me through your resume?
Assistant
The whole process took about nine months, with about three interviews and some waiting time in between. It usually starts with an HR screening where they ask about your background, interests, and motivation for working in entertainment. After that, you usually have one or two interviews with the specific department. These interviews focus more on your work ethic, business thinking, and fit for a fast-paced environment. Remember, the entertainment industry slows down a lot during the holidays, so things might pause or move slower then. In my experience, the interviews weren't too hard. The important thing is to show genuine interest, give thoughtful answers, and show you're willing to work hard and learn. I'm really enjoying the role now.
- Can you describe a situation where you had to overcome a challenge?
- What attracted you to this department?
- What music or films are you currently excited about?
Assistant
I first spoke with a recruiter, then an agent, and finally a manager. While everyone was really nice, the process took an unreasonably long time. I'd reach out and be told I was still being considered and that no decision had been made. This went on for months, so I eventually stopped reaching out and moved on. I'm not upset about not getting the job, but it feels really disrespectful to keep candidates waiting for weeks or months and then not even bother to give a final decision after multiple rounds of interviews.
- Could you tell me why you're interested in CCA?
- Can you explain your understanding of the responsibilities of this role?
