I thought you might be interested in the response I received to an application sent yesterday, and the type of selection scenario that seem to be more popular at the moment:

"Thank you for sending your CV in response to the advertisement for a Creative Executive Assistant for ********  You may find our selection process a little unusual, but if you are really interested in the position, please follow the process below:
​
If you would like to be considered further for the position, please call the following number ********** before 7pm on Sunday 1st November 2020 and leave me a short voicemail that tells me your name, contact details and answers the questions on the welcome message.

Following this, I will select a number of candidates to progress to a group meeting on Zoom where I will be able to tell you about the business, how we will work together and specifically the role to allow you to decide if the job really is for you.  I will also ask you at that stage to complete some short questionnaires and make a short presentation to the meeting.
​

After the Zoom meeting a shortlist of candidates will be selected for final interview, which ideally Covid rules allowing, will be held face to face. The process will be completed with an appointment being made before the end of November and the employment will commence at the beginning of January 2021.
​
You can probably imagine my immediate reaction...

Certainly creative! But actually, on rereading, not too whacky. The communication was in very clear English, not too full of jargon. You are very articulate , so would certainly hold your own! AND you would get a good idea of the ethos of the company. If you can face it, I’d give it a go...depending partly on where it is and what it pays!!!!
No 63 is considerably clearer, so I helped ( well, sat around while she worked)Violet sort some stuff,so now it’s not so clear again!
