      Senior Media Consultant/Graphic Designer Interview

      25 Aug 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Smithfield, RI
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Fidelity Investments (Smithfield, RI) in Jul 2015

      Interview

      I feel compelled to post this review as I continue to see this job appear on the job boards. As an internal applicant, I was granted a telephone interview with two women (Glassdoor doesn’t allow using titles here), and never have I experienced two people more disinterested in talking to me. It began with the first woman pointing out the most important thing is for me to explain the one-year gap on my resume, "We definitely want to hear more about that!" Really? I should have ended the call right there. (Newsflash to hiring reps of America: LOTS of people have a gap on their resume due to something called a recession of which you are clearly unaware). Next, the second woman sternly explained to me that this job requires all artwork to be created in InDesign and would I “be comfortable doing that” – again, I should have realized this was a bad job and ended the call – InDesign for creating artwork? Seriously? This job description demands the candidate be completely up to date on every design package, yet this person clearly hasn’t updated their skillset in over a decade, meaning the job applicant must “dumb themselves down” to work with this person. I said I'd need to see a demonstration of just how they're going about doing this. Moving on to reviewing my portfolio, I was ready with a ton of samples (we were sharing screens). Because I had quite a few pieces and we were only scheduled to talk for 45 minutes (another red flag, this interview wasn’t even worthy of a whole hour of their time) I asked were there any specific pieces they wanted me to talk about first, i.e. anything they particularly liked/disliked? The second woman did what she did thru the remainder of the whole call which was to say nothing, and the first woman said she HADN'T EVEN LOOKED at my portfolio. I said, oh, I thought I sent you the link with the login info (I keep it protected under a password), and she said "yeah, but I couldn't be bothered.” Wow. So, I talked thru every piece whilst neither of them said one word. At the end, I asked about the video requirement in the job description and immediately pulled up some videos I did...neither of them knew what to say to me, finally the second woman mumbled "oh we just need someone to know how to upload a video to our website." In summary, a horrible, demeaning and downright offensive experience, probably the worst in my career.

      Question 1

      I want to hear more about that gap on your resume; are you comfortable creating artwork without Photoshop and Illustrator
