Was given situational scenarios to complete in groups. This includes introducing team members, creating a new idea attraction for the museum and picking certain items for a customer brief. Although the tasks were very easy, I gave it my best to answer every problem fully in the most creative manner I could. Especially, since it wasn’t a conventional interview standard it was difficult to prove competency. Ultimately, didn’t get the job. Wouldn’t have minded, but I just feel that “dumbing down” my answers or contributing minimally would be the only possibility I had of passing the interview. With such a informal interview approach, I believe they’d already made their decisions based on application. Would have just preferred a conventional interview approach over one that doesn’t really work. As a artist, am really disappointed with the result as museums are my favourite pastime. However ,it has given me the initiative to focus more on monetising my art and writing and working on developing a startup business.

During the group interview process, we simulated challenging customer interactions. We proposed an event we would run in the gallery and why. We were given customer profiles and selected what items we would recommend they purchase based on their needs.
