Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Edelman and PR.? Tell me about a project that you worked on and time you faced challenges?
I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2025
Interview
Began with a 2 minute screening that felt pretty impersonal. "Talent acquisition" is not that responsive, but the actually team members seemed genuine. It's a massive company, so what do you expect, I was just hoping the people who's job it is to recruit and manage interviews would be more on top of things.
I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (New York, NY) in May 2026
Interview
Applied through linked in with simple questions and resume upload. Never heard back despite being qualified for the job (3+ years at another agency with similar clients). Shocked to not even receive a regret to inform you email
Composto por diversas etapas mas no geral o processo fluiu bem e sempre recebi as respostas rápido. RH bem atencioso e comunicação por email funcionou bem. No geral achei um processo criterioso mas não exatamente difícil
