Entrevista
I had 3 separate interviews - first with hiring manager, then with group of 3-4 employees together, then with project manager. First red flag was that only one of these people were women, at a company for women lol. My second red flag was that the hiring manager was listening in to every single interview and would randomly interject. HR/recruiter was not involved at all until I got an offer which I suppose can be the norm for a small company. Both of these things made it difficult for me to ask questions of the employees surrounding culture, work/life balance, etc because their manager was listening to every detail. I got a huge micromanager vibe from the whole process. I did not ask about salary at the outset which is on me, but as someone who had been a post-coordinator to post-producer for 4 full years, I was only offered 53K. Considering the volume of work discussed and my previous experience at a large studio that had experienced tremendous growth, as well as the expectations for the role, I found this number insulting. I replied back thanking them and said it’s too low for me, and asked for the full list of benefits and equipment provided. He replied back saying “everything is negotiable” and that they were “prepared to offer 55K” and would send me a MacBook Air “if needed” which was a confusing way to word that. This was not a freelance position. 2K would barely make a difference in paycheck so I declined. I also let them know I’m used to using a MacBook Pro in video roles and don’t feel an Air is sufficient. The hiring manager responded back fairly curtly saying, “It sounds like we weren’t even in your ballpark” and that “a MacBook Air is enough.” Based on his reply and the entire process I know I made the right decision. It sounds like they were looking for someone young and desperate for a job based on the offer rather than someone with a background of real world experience.

This was for Kin Community Canada. I applied through Linkedin with a cover letter. Got an email asking to set up a time for a video interview with the manager the position reports to. It was the usual questions tell me about yourself, some behavioral as in they would give you a scenario and ask how would you react. Thought the interview went really well it was conversational but nobody got back letting me know a decision was made.

I had a phone interview that lasted about 30 minutes. Then I had to do an unpaid design test where I had to redesign about 4 slides in a deck and also design 2 looks for a mock youtube channel. After that, I went to an in-person interview where I met with 3 people (one of whom was the person from the phone interview).
I followed up soon thereafter and didn't hear back. I followed up again 2 weeks after the interview and again, never heard back.
I personally think that if you have a potential candidate do 2 interviews and a design test the least you can do is send a generic rejection e-mail. It's called professionalism.
