I found an old job listing on Craigslist and followed the company's suggestion to like them on Facebook for future job postings. A search marketing trainee position was posted a couple of weeks later. I emailed the owner my resume and cover letter and was called in for an interview a few days later. The interview was less standard Q&A and more conversational. We talked about my previous work and skills that would apply to the job itself. The head of operations was called into the interview to ask a few more questions. The owner was upfront that he would like to offer me the job pending a final conversation with the head of operations. I received final confirmation that I had the job the next day.

It was a very casual interview. 2 superiors interviewed me, asking me a series of questions. Some questions were behavioral, like how did I act in a difficult situation with a client. Other questions focused on critical thinking skills and required me to think on my feet. They also asked about my experiences and how they applied to this position.
