I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Alpaytac, Inc. (Chicago, IL) in Dec 2012
Interview
I sent an email to the general HR email on the website and was contacted a month later for an in-person interview. Walking in I didn't like the atmosphere. Everyone was working right in front of where I was waiting, and they were gossiping with each other so that I could hear everything. It just seemed unprofessional to me. The interviewers were nice and the position seemed like you would learn a lot if you wanted PR experience. I withdrew my candidacy, however, because the pay was way too low for the hours worked. It was a monthly stipend and you were expected to work full-time hours with some overtime. This was unrealistic especially with the city expenses.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
All of the questions were pretty straightforward. We just went over the highlights of my resume.
Phone call asked about experience and goals. They were very friendly over the phone did not make me attend for an in-person interview. 3 month commitment minimum. Super easy process not to difficult to be hired if you have a college degree in communications or journalism.
