I’m about to start applying for editor jobs (preferably at post houses) and I’m wondering what the interview process is like. Is it more of a ”they look at your resume and website and hire you if they like what they see“?, Or is there an actual interview process? If so, what is the interview process like? Is it the generic “tell me a of a time when you exceeded expectations” crap? or more chill? Any input/in experience in this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

By post houses do you mean edit boutiques or full service post like the Mill or Framestore? If an edit boutique… it’s a difficult job to just apply for. You either get promoted from assistant, or already have clients that will follow you. Even if you have a killer reel it’s tough, if those clients came from a gig where you were “the in-house guy” and edited by default.

How bad is it if I refuse to accept the offer? Will I be banned from working with that headhunting firm?

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
