First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Essential Engine.
Client Services Manager
Got an email to come in for an interview. It was pretty standard. The two people I met were really nice. The interview felt relaxed and comfortable.
- How would you handle challenging clients?
Designer
Scheduled an interview over the phone. Had an in person interview, but was told I was applying for the wrong position. They asked me a few questions, didn't ask to see my portfolio, and another employee gave me a short InDesign test. Didn't get a job offer until a month later. It took two weeks to get a formal offer letter. Communication was bad during that time.
- What design programs do you utilize?
Graphic Designer
Lots of the first chats come from knowing someone at the company already. There were two interviews, spaced out by a couple weeks, before I got the offer. It felt pretty laid back and was mainly about my skills for the role.
- What are your expectations for this role?
Account Manager
You start with a recruiter call. Then, you have a call with the sales manager. They explain the position and their work. They also ask why you'd be a good fit. The next interview is a phone call to hear your sales pitch. If all goes well, you get the job.
- Can you explain why you are a good fit for this role?
- Could you deliver your sales pitch over the phone?
