I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Edelman
Interview
D.C. office immediately responded to my application online. An HR person scheduled a phone interview for the next day. Interview questions about my background and basic PR skills. During the interview, she assured that I would be contacted after I had the second interview that day.
After this call, same day, was passed on to two hiring managers. Spoke with them for 25 mins. Interview went well. Same questions about background, how to approach certain situations.
**Never heard back by phone or e-mail, even when I contacted them. Sorry to say it because I'm a huge fan of Edelman, but that's extremely unprofessional. You'd think PR people would know better!
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.
