First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Institutional Investor.
Contributor
Submitted a specific story idea pitch. It was a pretty simple process because I already knew the company. They got back to me fast and were easy to work with. Not sure how they usually handle freelance contributors though.
- Can you tell me more about your story idea?
Collections Representative
The interviewer started by giving a quick overview of the company and the job duties. He mentioned that because people tend to leave this job quickly, he's really looking for hires who plan to stick around for a while, not just a few months. Then, he asked me some general questions about my background and previous jobs.
- Can you walk me through your resume and discuss your past work experience?
Relationship Manager
The interviewers were cool and took their time to explain the role and duties. They also shared their working preferences and what they look for in a candidate. It felt more like a real chat than a formal interview, so overall a good chance to connect with the potential boss.
- Can you discuss your experience based on your CV?
- Could you share a situation you've encountered relevant to this position?
- What are your preferred working styles?
Marketing
You'll probably meet with a few people from the team you might join, not just your direct manager. They really like hiring people who are outgoing and have a lively personality. Some managers might give you an exercise or a test to complete.
- Explain your unique qualifications compared to other candidates.
