First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at The Glover Park Group.
Director
I had a bad interview experience with this company. During the Zoom call, the interviewers were giggling and seemed to be talking to each other about me.
- Can you describe your management experience?
Strategic Communications Associate
I applied for a job in Washington, D.C. in the fall of 2020. Everything was remote because of COVID-19. It took about a month from applying to getting an offer. They contacted me about a week after I applied. I had actually applied for a different Associate job, but it was taken, so HR asked if I wanted to interview for this one instead. The first interview had me talking to HR first, then someone from the Strategic Communications Division. A few days later, I interviewed with two managing partners because the role would be supporting them. Then, I did a writing test, followed by a reference check. The process was really thorough, but everyone was super nice, professional, and helpful. The GPG team kept me in the loop, and I never waited more than a few days for scheduling or next steps.
- Can you tell me about your skills and experience, and why you're interested in GPG's work?
- Could you elaborate on your understanding of the role and its responsibilities?
Intern
I was initially connected with a managing director for a casual coffee chat. We discussed GPG's work and my interests, focusing on the bigger picture. Later, HR reached out to schedule a phone call. This hour-long conversation was mainly informational. HR inquired about my resume and financial background, and I asked about GPG. It felt a bit formal but wasn't overly challenging. About two weeks after, I met three senior associates at the office. We delved into my resume and aspirations at GPG. Although initially intimidating as a panel interview, they were all quite friendly. Following that, I had a brief meeting with the initial MD to discuss my potential role and the intern-employee relationship. After a month without a response, I followed up with the MD and HR manager, which led to a quick offer acceptance.
- Given your lack of PR experience, what's driving your interest in the field, and how do you see your prior work experience and skills applying to public relations and strategic management?
- Can you explain your motivation for pursuing a career in PR despite having no prior experience, and how your existing work history and competencies would translate to public relations and strategic management roles?
Graphic Designer
I found the job on LinkedIn. A few days later, they asked for more project examples and then, on the very same day, scheduled an interview for the next day. The interview itself was with three members of the creative team, so it was pretty focused on the actual job and not so much on curveball questions.
- Could you introduce yourself?
