First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at SAG-AFTRA.
Senior Software Engineer
The interviewer was super nice and made me feel relaxed. The questions were straightforward and fit the job. Everything was organized and on time. They clearly told me what to expect. I liked learning about the team and what they're working on. They seemed genuinely interested in what I've done. Some questions were a bit unclear or didn't seem to fit the role, and the interview felt a bit rushed, so I didn't get to fully explain everything.
- Can you share details about your skills and professional background?
- Could you provide an example of when you took personal accountability?
Coordinator
The interview process had 2 rounds, both done over Zoom. The first interview was with the team I'd be working with, and the second was with the department director. I was ghosted after the director interview, which wasn't a great experience. It seemed like a good team to work with though.
- What made you want to apply for this position?
Voice Over Reader
The standard audition practice is guided and monitored by SAG/Aftra. Odds are slim but I get my fair share. It's a constant daily interview process with producers, casting directors, corporations looking for the right fit. The union has been helpful throughout the quarter-century I've been with them.
- Can you detail your prior work experience that qualifies you for membership in the premier Actors Union in the United States?
Associate
The interview was conducted over Zoom. The manager didn't ask any specific questions but instead described the work environment, which appeared to be quite relaxed. They have a hybrid work culture, and the 35-hour work week is a strategy they use to reduce hourly wages and benefits.
- Do you have any questions for me about the role or the company?
