Networked with college alumni currently working at Christie's, who were helpful and eager to share their experiences and put me in touch with HR; submitted application online; received an email a week following the application deadline and arranged a phone interview. The interview turned out to be pretty straightforward, with no trick questions or behavioral questions.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Christie's
