I applied for an Events Promotions Assistant role on Reed and got a response in a day. The initial interview was a phone interview with a lady called Bianca; it was quite brief, around 10 minutes. She asked me questions about my CV and what I'm looking for for my next career and then she explained to me what Live Innovations does and the role that I applied for. After the phone interview, I was invited for a first round interview with the Managing Director, Tom Harris. He was a friendly guy and explained to me in more detail what the company does and the different clients and campaigns they've worked on. Again, it was a very brief interview; we spoke alot about sports because we're both into football and basketball. It was fairly quick interview but it made sense because it was super busy. I got called in two hours after my first round interview saying that I have been invited for an open day or a second round interview to go out with one of their team leaders to be shown the event. I was paired up with a girl called Iliana. I was pretty surprised that someone like Iliana, a girl with masters degree, really smart, was doing an entry level sales and marketing role. I was shown a face to face events marketing and promotions - which made sense for the type of client they were representing. At lunch time, Iliana showed a me a business development programme, where the company will fast track me into a management position in less than 1 year. No wonder the open day was intense, because they're looking for people that are ambitious and willing to work hard. I knew I was that person so I had to fight for the position because there were 11 other candidates that went out that day and we were all fighting for one position. We finished the day around 6 and I had to do a final test at the office where they had to test everything I learned during the day. It was pretty scary because there was a lot of information. I ended the day with a final round interview with Tom again but it was actually more intense this time. I didnt think I was going to get it but due to Iliana's recommendation I was offered a position at the company. I started 2 weeks ago, and I have been promoted to a trainee/leadership stage already.
