Asked me about my previous experience working with an admissions advising company in Beijing. Ultimately they wanted someone who could work in one of their satellite offices and I made it pretty clear I wasn't willing to relocate.

1 initial Skype interview with HR, 2nd interview with education team, sample tasks to complete. The interview process happened quickly. The questions themselves weren’t difficult to answer, but I did feel rushed. The interviewer appeared to be on her couch in pajamas and it was clear she hadn’t read my materials. She seemed surprised when I mentioned my admissions experience, despite this being an entire subheading of my cover letter. She also made a comment about me being an “older” candidate (I’m 30!) which I found unprofessional if not illegal. They were very interested in which big name institutions I was affiliated with, particularly in the initial interview. This did not leave me with a favorable impression, especially as compared to the very positive and engaging conversations focusing on coaching and student development I had interviewing with one of their competitors. On the positive side, they did follow up with me in a timely manner to let me know I did not receive an offer. I appreciate them closing the loop, as many employers do not bother to contact unsuccessful applicants. Overall I expect a bit more professionalism in the interview process, but perhaps it’s because I’m an old fogey :)
