WebFX Marketing Specialist Interview Questions
& Process

This was a horrible, horrible process and such a waste of time. They strung me along for 6 months while I was finishing college. Just when they told me I was at the last step and in a prestigious group, they said they chose someone else without explaining why. They didn't even have the respect to call and thank me for my time, sending a very short email instead. I felt like they were conditioning me for months to see how many trials I could handle, like a factory. I even went to WebFx U in Harrisburg to get ahead, but it didn't help. Thankfully, I dodged a bullet though.

The interview process started with a 30-minute phone call, then a written interview and a form for employment/education history, followed by a video or in-person interview. The phone interview was unusual, focusing more on why I chose my major rather than my current job skills or freelance experience. It felt like a casual chat about my resume, though the interviewer was nice. After that, I received a lengthy written interview and an employment history form. The written part had 2 questions about availability and visiting HQ, 11 long questions, a ranking of 10 qualities, links to social media/websites, and two human verification questions. These seemed pretty standard, but the employment history form was too personal. It asked about how I financed my education and summer spending. For each job over the last 15 years (including self-employment, summer, and part-time jobs), it asked for starting/ending salary, successes, mistakes, likes/dislikes, and supervisor ranking. It also asked if I'd be willing to arrange reference calls with past supervisors and requested to follow my personal social media. This felt too invasive, especially the education financing question, and made me distrust them as an employer.

Sent my resume and got a call within 30 mins to set up a phone interview. After that, I had 24 hours to do a written interview with some tough, thought-provoking questions. Then I went in for an in-person interview the next week. The whole thing moved fast but felt like it had a lot of parts. There would have been a 4th interview if I'd gotten that far. It was a good experience, though it felt a bit messy sometimes. I only talked to one person the whole time and they asked me some of the same questions during both the phone and in-person interviews. Aside from the written part, the questions were pretty standard.
