Social Media Manager
The hiring process kicked off with an initial chat on Google Meet. Although the interview seemed to go well, I noticed the questions didn't touch on my resume at all and there were no follow-up questions. Near the end, I was asked if I'd do a take-home assessment for a fake client. They nudged me towards creating 2 videos and 1 static post for two social platforms, which is what others have apparently been asked to do. I spent the weekend creating the content and writing a summary explaining my platform choices and audience targeting. A few days later, I got a generic rejection email that felt unprofessional and wasn't even addressed to me. I tried to get feedback on my assessment by replying and reaching out to the interviewer directly, but I never heard back.
- Would you be open to completing an assessment task for a fictional client?
- Could you please create three content pieces for two different social platforms, including two videos and one static post, for a fictional client?
- Could you provide a summary explaining why you chose the two platforms and how the content you created is suitable for their specific audiences?
Social Media Manager
After reviewing my application, they showed interest and asked for my social media links. This led to a positive video interview. Then, I was given a design test for a fictional client, requiring two videos and a static post based on basic guidelines. I spent significant time creating and editing the video content with effects and captions, and designed a static post, including a write-up explaining my strategy. Unfortunately, I received a very impersonal and unprofessional rejection, which made me question the company's culture.
