After applying online I was invited for an assessment day which consisted of a series of group tasks (simple things like spot the difference between images relating to standards of presentation and locating tasks using a map of their King Street building). There was also a brief one to one interview as well as a short written task.

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.
