I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Whitehouse Post (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2018
Interview
Walked in for what I thought was an AE interview & it was actually for an assistant producer position. I was upfront about wanting to edit from the start so it was super awkward. Seems like they only want receptionists on the producer trajectory.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Whitehouse Post (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2019
Interview
Applied through my college on Handshake (recent grad), no cover letter required. They reached out to me within a few days to schedule an in-person interview.
Interview took 10-15 minutes. Very cool looking office and a chill, casual vibe (everyone was wearing jeans). Was told at the end of the interview that the position is 50+ hrs/week and is "freelance" for the first month. I don't really know what that means, and I was never told how much the job pays.
Doesn't sound like a great offer for someone who just wants to be a receptionist, but could be a great opportunity for someone who is trying to work in film and wants to advance in the company (which is what they're looking for). I did not get the job - probably because I don't know anything about film and just wanted a receptionist job.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Whitehouse Post (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2019
Interview
I was invited back for two rounds of interviews. They only hire two interns per season. I'm not sure how many people were initially interviewed but by the second round there were only 6 applicants left. The first interview consisted of questions about my work and abilities, school, what programs I use, and a few more personal questions.
