Lawlor Media Group Interview Questions
& Process

It was a quick, direct interview, lasting no more than 20 minutes. They asked about my skills and experience, and why I was a good fit for the job.

So I applied for an Account Coordinator position and went through 3 rounds of interviews. The first round was an open call where selected candidates could come in anytime during a set window. I had to do a writing test and a trivia sheet about NY press. Then I met with the COO who talked about the roles. It was pretty chaotic in the office with yelling and bickering, which felt unprofessional but I guess it's a tough environment. The second interview was also an open call, and I ended up waiting a while because the COO was in a client meeting. I had another writing test, this time social media posts and a blog pitch. I met with Nora, who asked general questions about my background and goals, and asked for references. I emailed them and followed up, but didn't hear back for about 1.5-2 weeks. Then, I got an email at 1:30 PM asking if I could come in at 4:00 PM the same day for a third interview. I asked to reschedule for the next couple of days, but was told no. I went in anyway, met with Nora again, answered more questions, and did another writing test, this time a press release for a restaurant, which she liked. When I asked about the day-to-day for the open positions, she said it depends on the candidate. There was more arguing that day too. I haven't heard anything since and honestly, I'm not sure I would have taken the job even if offered.

For this interview you're gonna have to do a test. The test is gonna be about basic PR knowledge of magazines and newspapers. You'll also have to edit a small paragraph and write a pitch. Also, you need to clip an article. To clip, just print screen an online article and paste it into a word document, print it out and show it to management.

She makes you interview 3 times, first interview there is pop quiz asking tons of questions on PR. Second and third interview you have to make a mock media alert press release and social media posts. You also sit down with the COO Jeffrey before you meet norah
