The Recruitment Process
The recruitment process consists of three main steps:
Interested candidates should first complete the online application, which includes the following four short-answer questions:
In 150 words or less, tell us about your multimedia experience. Use examples to show us your strengths as a storyteller? What are your favorite media to work in, and why?
What do you think is the digital rights story that most needs to be told now? Use visual language or better yet, visuals.
Name a recent campaign that you think used digital content or multimedia particularly well. Give us some context and explain why you think it was successful in 50-100 words.
Finally, in 50-100 words, share a recent production experience that involved working on a team. What did you learn?
Qualified applicants will be contacted for a follow-up VoIP interview and asked to send a CV.
Finally, the top three to five candidates will be asked to complete a time-limited exercise around a topic of SMEX’s choosing.
Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
Please note that we will only be able to reply to short-listed candidates.
