I applied through university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Edelman (Seoul) in Aug 2013
Interview
First round interview with HR manager : casual but quite tough. It feels like they prefer students from top universities. After the interview, writing test was given.
Second round interview with managers/head of each team: group interview, i was asked some basic questions of PR (why PR vs. marketing or advertising)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for Edelman, Tell me about yourself (typical interview questions), and writing test (Create a press release)
2 rounds; overall straightforward with relatively standard questions for an internship. However the internship is competitive lots of people apply to this internship but it’s a great experience I enjoyed it
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edelman (Hong Kong) in June 2025
Interview
Online written task on press release and social media post drafting. Can finish it in one hour. After that will be in person interview with managers. Interview questions are easy and casual.
I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (New York, NY)
Interview
Only did the first round which was a phone screening. Recruiter didn't seem that engaged and sounded like they were in a rush to get off the phone. Communication via email is quick though, and they're transparent about the process and updates so that's a plus.
