      Marketing Assistant Interview

      Jul 29, 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Smyrna, GA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at GK Global (Smyrna, GA) in Jul 2018

      Interview

      This is the most confusing job I've ever interviewed for ever. I keep a list of every job I've applied to so I can keep straight what positions I've applied to. I received an email saying I was selected for an interview, but in hindsight I feel like it was an email blast as opposed to my being selected. I could have applied and just forgotten to add it to my list, but that's rare. Anyway, I accepted the first interview. When I went in at my scheduled time, they rescheduled me because there were 4 people ahead of me that hadn't interviewed yet so they were running very behind. No problem, I rescheduled. I showed up on time for the rescheduled visit and I waited 30 minutes before being seen. I didn't mind the wait considering, but the interview literally lasted 5 minutes. I'm kinda funny as a personality, so I made awkward small talk and my interviewer laughed a lot. I thought that was fine, but by the end of the 5 minute interview I realized we didn't discuss my resume at all and all that the interviewer really said about the company was that they were a marketing firm, they only promote from within, and that there was definite room to be promoted. So I somehow made it to the second interview phase by flying colors by barely having a conversation, which honestly felt cheap. Fast forward from that interview day (a Wednesday) to the second interview day (a Saturday). I showed up on time and waited 40 minutes before we (myself and the other people in the 2nd phase) were acknowledged. The email stated we would be driving from site to an active marketing campaign, where we would observe people who work for the company actually doing their job. It also stated we would be able to leave at any time and that we did not have to worry about driving. It was understood we would be with them until about 7pm. We drove from the office to a spot off of the Beltline in Atlanta, where the 3 workers proceeded to act as a street team advocating for monthly donations for a company that works with this company. They had the other applicant and I sit on rocks outside in our business professional clothes and fill out a personality quiz packet on our own paper (an email did say to bring your own pen/paper) for about 45 minutes. We then just watched them from the rock-seats for an hour when the quiz packet portion was over. Never were we told that it would be outdoors or street team work. We go to lunch. They explained that the start pay is $210 base plus commission. I was definitely no longer interested in the position once I did some quick math. Minimum wage for 29 hours is $210; they expect you to work 6 days a week - so the commission really makes the majority of the income. For extroverts that can be fantastic, but it just wasn't me. When I told them after lunch that I personally didn't feel like I would be a good fit for the position because I thought I was interviewing for a desk job at a firm, they informed me that I was free to leave and call an Uber to do so. It really upset me that they promised transportation in the email but only if you're willing to accept the position - they drove us 40 minutes away from the original office so that's not exactly the cheapest Uber.

      Thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback. We only recruit people who have actively applied for positions with our company, and we are clear in our job advertisements what the job entails and the remuneration offered. It's unfortunate that you weren't aware of this before attending your interview, but we do send multiple emails with this information, and also speak to candidates on the phone prior to the interview. We do this so we can avoid wasting anyone's time. By the time a candidate has read through all the information, and reached the second interview stage, after an opportunity to ask questions at our initial stage, we assume that they are interested in the job as stated. We're sorry that the job wasn't for you, and we wish you the best in finding something more suitable.
