First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at IATSE.
Administrative Assistant
HR was cool. First, I had a phone interview. Then, I went in for an in-person interview. After that, I was called back for another interview. The questions were about typical admin tasks like filing, answering phones, and making copies.
- How do you handle doing the same tasks over and over without getting bored?
Stage Technician
Some roles have open enrollment each quarter, while others maintain a waiting list for immediate staffing needs. You can also get on a union job as a casual worker and work up to 30 days within a 12-month period.
- Are you a casual user, even if legally recognized?
Therapy Recreation Aid
I saw the job posting on Glassdoor and emailed my resume and a cover letter. They called me in for an interview the next day. It was in the boardroom and lasted about an hour and a half. I answered questions and met the director of care. She offered me the job, but I have to finish my practicum first. I need to call her when I'm done.
- What type of program would you create?
Assistant Feature Film Editor
Had a phone chat based on a recommendation from the Union guild's availability list.
- What is your knowledge level regarding ProRes 422?
