First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Greater Good.
Intern
It was really relaxed. I was interviewed by two managers in the company. They were friendly and asked very practical questions to the position, as well as several questions about myself. At the end of the interview, I was asked to complete some writing samples, (they presented me with products the company sells and asked me to write descriptions for them.)
- Can you tell me about one of your greatest strengths?
- Do you feel you can take initiative and be self-motivated when needed?
- What made you want to apply for this role?
Graphic Designer
The whole thing took over a month from the first phone call to the in-person interview and graphic design test. They first emailed about salary, which was minimum wage even though I have a degree. I took the job because I needed it, but in hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have. A place that doesn't value your input and just wants to get things done cheaply isn't great for creatives. The office was also super messy with clothes, dust, and boxes everywhere.
- What are your weaknesses?
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- What are some common questions you find online?
Email Designer
I had a phone interview first where they described the company to me. Then i had an interview at their office. It was with one person from their office and three people from their Seattle office via video conference. They went through my whole online portfolio and had me explain each piece. As soon as i sent my thank you email they emailed me back saying they had chosen another candidate.
- Tell me about your favorite email newsletter.
- What do you consider your greatest weakness?
Project Manager
I went through a process that included two personality tests. After that, I had a Skype interview that lasted about 40 minutes. During the interview, I was asked typical Project Manager questions to assess my skills. Unfortunately, the interviewer felt I didn't have enough experience for the role. They did inform the staffing agency the same day that I wouldn't be moving forward.
- Can you discuss the projects you have been involved with?
