      SEO Content Writer Interview

      9 Jul 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at Essential Data

      Interview

      For my interview with Essential Data Corporation, I got to do a video interview with the CEO Antoinette Allocca in which I shared some of my experience as listed in my resume and Antoinette told me more about the company and the internship opportunity. Prior to the internship I looked through the EDC website to familiarize myself with the company and during the interview we went over what I learned about the company through the website and Antoinette also talked me through more in depth what the company offers. She made me feel very welcomed as well as heard in regards to my career aspirations and how EDC can help me get on the right path to establish a career in content writing. We talked about what position I would take in the internship and Antoinette was very open to what role I wanted to take on. I also highly appreciated the fact that Antoinette emphasized the flexibility of the position as I was told that I would be able to dedicate as much time as I could to the internship.

      Interview

      I had a brief call with the CEO after she sent me a message about the position on Linkedin. She gave an overview of the company, what they do, the type of work you would do, and some terminology from the field. It was pretty relaxed

      SEO Content Writer Interview

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Essential Data in Apr 2021

      Interview

      Interview with CEO, she spends half an hour trying to impress you with the search results of the company (already a red flag), making you look up the Linkedin profiles of other interns. She mentions that interns go on to make high salaries, but at different companies (why would you not hire them full-time then?). Only mentions the internship is unpaid at the end. CEO told me I was a talented writer without ever having seen a writing sample, and gave me an offer on the spot. Seems like they just want unpaid labor from anyone for a few months and then throw you away.

      Thank you for your feedback and taking the time to write this review. I understand that a candidate might feel disheartened when they repeatedly do not receive job offers. Sometimes, they have the wrong skill set, display a lack of passion, poor follow-up questions, no references, weak recommendations, or unaffordable salary expectations. We are very proud of the feedback we receive from a candidates, but disappointed when a qualified candidate declines our job offer. I am providing an email that is verbatim from a candidate who declined our job offer as an example; "I've been awake for the last couple of hours with a lot on my mind. With that said, I fear that I'm not ready for a position at this time. I am someone who puts 100% effort into education, and with school coming around the corner, that is what I would like to focus my attention on. I appreciate the opportunity you presented me - truly, I am grateful. EDC was the only legit company to offer me a position. All the other companies either wanted me to pay an "application fee", or they felt I was not qualified enough. After our conversation earlier this morning, I finally felt value in myself. I felt wanted, Honestly, words cannot describe in full capacity how I felt. But to put it short, thank you. I feel terrible for accepting a position, and then hours later figuring out it's not the right time - it's unprofessional on my part. Truthfully, I should have thought about everything before signing the contract. Instead, I was so full of energy and excitement that I sent it in, and then realized later on that it wasn't the right time. I cannot express how sorry I am, and no matter how many times I type it, I still feel terrible. EDC seems like a great company, no doubt about that. I believe you have done a great job running the business, and I know for a fact that you and the team will continue to grow and keep that top search result position! I hope you can understand where I'm coming from. I just fear that (knowing how I am) I would put all of my efforts into the position and hardly any towards my schooling. Once again - And I can't say it enough - I'm sorry. Best wishes"
