      Communications Officer Interview

      28 Jun 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Washington, DC
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Flamboyan (Washington, DC) in Sept 2015

      Interview

      Received an email to come in for an interview after submitting through email. Met with of their former COOs a few years ago. Their representative was rude right from the beginning. Explained to me that one of their board members wrote a book on management which they all follow as gospel. Proceeded to tell me, a Sr. Communications professional, how I should be communicating for them. But the problem was they were hiring a communications professional because they needed one to grow their program, not the other way around. They wanted me to complete a communications assignment to one of their current problems which I refused. No Sr. communicator would ever give you a marcomm plan for free so that the organization can use it for the other communicator who is hired to solve the organization's communications problem. I have never had a bad interview until I met with Flamboyan. To this day it reminds me of the type of places I want to work at. I've moved on to bigger and better organizations but that interview still reminds me of that a toxic leader can do in an interview to drive away a potential good fit for the organization. Sounds like a great organization mission but they have a serious ego and leadership problem.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They wanted keywords to be used on tackling communications for the organization. Example, how would you tackle a communications crisis for the organization? Give examples utilizing keywords, from what THEY thought should be used.
