Good phone interview didn’t hear back after till later but fairly easy asked which part I wanted to be included in if I started. She was super friendly on the phone and the company seems nice to
I interviewed at BAM Architecture Studio (New York, NY)
Interview
I had emailed a resume and portfolio of professional and personal work, and received an email of interest from them about a week later. The entire process started with a phone interview to gauge my interests, and to see whether my design philosophies aligned with theirs. Then I was scheduled for an in-person interview with 3 staff members, individually. It was very long, lasted almost 2 hours. But it was very informative, and they seemed to be assessing personality a little more than skills. Third round, was another interview with another staff member, was very brief. Needless to say I was very disappointed that I never heard anything back (I called for a follow up to see where I stood shortly before being granted the final interview), and assumed they went with someone else.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kinds of projects have you worked on in terms of scale?
It is unfortunate you didn't get the job and I can understand your frustration . Did you leave a voicemail when you called? The Principals routinely return phone calls so it is surprising to learn that a voice mail may have gone unanswered.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BAM Architecture Studio (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2013
Interview
It appeared that my resume spoke for itself for the most part in terms of my skill set. They did ask about one specific job in more detail, but this interview was definitely more about how my personality would fit the dynamic of the studio, probably because it is such a small group of people.
