Interview
I interviewed with Sotheby's for a Floater position in NYC over a year ago. Scheduling the first interview was prompt after initial call. Interview was supposed to be two-part, however, due to a last-minute scheduling conflict, I only met with two people for approx 30 mins. Standard questions were asked and as this was an entry-level position, they asked more questions regarding my interests, knowledge and expectations.
