      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optimal in Oct 2024

      Interview

      I initially had an interview with a hiring specialist, followed by an assignment. For an entry-level position, the assignment was quite challenging, as you only have 30 minutes to review the data and answer the questions. This approach doesn't prove a candidate’s real potential for data analysis. While it may be effective for more experienced individuals, it risks overlooking eager candidates who are suitable for entry-level roles. So, it was a very horrible experience for me.

      Question 1

      What are your future career goals? What do you want to achieve in your professional life?

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that our Google Ads assessments can be challenging, especially for entry-level candidates, and we appreciate your perspective. We’ve designed our assessments to effectively identify key skills for the role, and all of our entry-level paid media hires have completed one. That being said, we are continually refining our interview process based on feedback like yours. We value your input and thank you, again, for your time.

      Interview

      Received an email where I was asked some more information about my experience. Then received a email to complete a “survey” where you select adjectives about yourself. After a few days another person emailed me to tell me that they moved to someone else.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Optimal in Apr 2024

      Interview

      First you take a personality test, followed by a 45 minute chat. After this you take a 1.5hr assessment and interview, and then a 1.5hr presentation and interview. Everyone was a pleasure to talk to, but it was definitely quite time intensive.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do you see yourself becoming a manager.
