I applied through other source. I interviewed at Miart Gallery (London, England) in Feb 2023
Interview
I was interviewed by the gallery owner, her work partner, and the gallery manager. The interview was easy, also because it was an unpaid gallery assistant job, they asked about my past experience, and also why i wanted to volunteer in their gallery.

I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Miart Gallery (London, England) in May 2023
Interview
Unprepared interviewers, unprofessional interviewing. The gallery is mostly operated by students who work for free. Claim to have certain famous artists' works, when in fact their right to sell them is expired.
Despite this role being available to art history graduates or students, no pertinent questions about art were asked. They told me within the first 5 minutes that their last 3 interns had all quit within two weeks. As stated by the gallery manager in the interview, some of the tasks you have to do are to clean the toilets (this is an unpaid internship). When I asked for time to consider their offer, the gallery owner left the table and left me alone in the gallery upstairs. To say that this is the most unprofessional interview I've ever had is kind.
