Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Alive Literary Agency
Colloquio
I was interviewed once over the phone and twice in person by the CFO and once by a group before being interviewed by the CEO. The process was difficult and extensive.

I was sent a link to take an extensive personality test and was also sent 5 questions to answer: what do you like the best about being an assistant; what makes a great assistant; what qualifies you for this position; why do you want this job; why should we hire you for this position.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura di persona. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Alive Literary Agency (Colorado Springs, CO) nel mese di dic 2014
Colloquio
I interviewed with two people. During my first interview, I felt adequately prepared for the role. However, toward the end of the interview, this person casually mentioned that they were going to add some "property management" tasks to the admin job. I explained that I had no experience in that field but would be happy to learn. It turned out that "property management" included a whole host of curious things that would better fit in the category of sanitation...
In my second interview with the owner, I was subjected to rapid fire questions that didn't pertain to the job, but were aimed at learning about my personality. At the time I thought this was quirky, but now I see it in light of how bizarre the whole atmosphere is. See below.
