Straightforward, experiential focused. I was given a writing test and a mini project to complete. It was enjoyable and a good gage of your thinking, past experience with media relations and communications planning.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us how you'd develop a communications plan for this product launch?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Olson (Minneapolis, MN) in Apr 2015
Interview
Went through 5 separate interviews and was then called back for 5 more interviews. The process was very grueling and the interviewers were clearly not trained on how to interview candidates. They were simply employees who were asked to interview for their team and were not experienced in how to ask the right questions and there was a lack of professionalism. While I was offered the position, I was not at all impressed with the process.
