I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Michael Page (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Nov 2015
Interview
Started with the online process and was quickly contacted by their staff. They then sent my details to the AD and she did a short telephone interview. Was invited for a interview the week after with the AD then the Director then another manager, lasting 2.5 hours. Was then invited for the next round of roleplay interview and was given a short brief 2 days before the actual interview, had to complete 2 mock Business Development calls. It was quite tough as I had no recruiting background and did not know what questions to ask.
Treated you like a criminal. Too pushy already in the interview. Definitely don’t recommend. You will regret it. Don’t waste your time having rounds of interviews. Don’t seem to be a healthy work environment.
Friendly and easy going. it was okay, interviewers were friendly and down to earth, they want to know you as a person so they asked about my hobbies, what i want to achieve in life and what are my drives and motivation
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Michael Page (Tokyo)
