Question 1
Why do you want to work at Sotheby's, why this internship
Got an internship interview based in London. I received the 1st round interview 40 days after applying, and it was an online interview via Teams from the recruitment team. About 30 minutes.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Sotheby's
Interview
Interview was average, but the hiring process was highly disorganized, HR went radio silent after promising to reach out a certain time. Felt super disrespected, especially for a renowned auction house.
Standard interview process. It was conducted online with one interviewer who asked about my previous experiences listed in my CV. I had a nice conversation with the interviewer and got to learn about their experience working there as well.
