Interview
Call with HR team member followed by multiple rounds afterwards. They also use whatsapp and email to stay in contact which I found was rather invasive and not profesional to use a whatsapp at all hours of the day

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Walks (Dublin, Dublin)
Interview
I had an interview with HR, not too in-depth, asking about my experience and filling me in on the role and then a week later I had an interview with two other women. All online. They were super friendly. Prior to the second interview I was given a task to bring one of their tours to life on social and how I would deal with a negative comment on one of their platforms. I cannot express how hard I worked on this project, even invested in a new MacBook. I felt my content was impressive, creative and on trend if I do say so myself. I lack experience in data analysis and presenting those highs and lows so I feel this maybe worked against me which was a shame.
