An unnecessarily lengthy in person interview (approx. 2.5 hours) where multiple employees switched in and out of the room. Had to prepare two tasks ahead of time, then complete a further 5 tasks / questions at the interview itself. For a position that didn't pay very well, the interview experience and attitude of the interviewers did not give a very good impression of the agency and I withdrew from the application process immediately after the interview.

Question 1
Give an example of how you managed a difficult client
Really bad. You would have thought I was going for a CEO role, not a poorly paid mid level role.
Multi stage interview process, with the final stage being a 2.5 hour intense session with the CEO and manager. I had to prepare !!2!! Case studies in advance, and complete a series of questions in 30 mins then present back.
I was not offered a job with the main reasons being I didn’t have a relevant enough background or agency experience and my salary expectations were too high (which should have been identified in a much earlier stage before wasting everyone’s time.
