This was the most bizarre and uncomfortable interview process of my entire career. I knew something was odd when I couldn't find a lick of information about the company online, including a website. When I went in for the interview it was obvious that she had not read my resume or cover letter and was extraordinarily rude. I wish that someone had warned me before I had walked in. I found out that the turnover rate for the position was incredibly high for reasons unbeknownst to them. After my initial shock wore off, it was pretty clear to me.

Barbi Zakin events is as concerned with your attitude and willingness to take on the high pace world of NYC events as your skills and experience. The interview was thoughtful and she offered a few scenarios where I could explain my thinking and how my experience could apply. It was clear that anyone who she hires will be expected to integrate into her small team immediately and contribute in a big way. It is an ideal opportunity if you want to work on prestigious events and gain experience in every element of the event planning business.
