I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Christie's (New York, NY) in Aug 2015
Interview
First there was a brief tour of the facilities and overview of the position, and you were able to also ask questions about the position. Then there was an interview with pretty standard questions based on your resume and then followed up with some situational questions. All in all not that bad.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Christie's (London, England) in Feb 2026
Interview
It is a video interview. I recently interviewed for the Mandarin-speaking Gallery Assistant role at Christie's in London and thought I’d share my experience in case it helps anyone.
Process:
It was pretty straightforward: one interview stage (5 minutes). Mine was conversational but structured. Nothing overly intimidating.
The interview took place in London, with around 20-25 people in the final selection phase. We went through a group interview, a written assignment and an individual interview. The whole process took on morning. The people were very nice and friendly
Assessment day with around 30 other candidates where we were out in different scenarios and judged on our performance, by the end we were pulled out for a very quick 5 min interview/chat.
