9a. Would you recommend Christie's to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

The atmosphere at Christie's is so friendly and welcoming. It was so easy to settle in and quickly become 'part of the team'. I also love seeing the various artwork that is sold through Christie's; they are all so interesting and make every day different.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Christie's?

Show an interest in the company from a broader perspective as well, not simply focusing on the job role. The artwork itself is such a huge part of who Christie's is, that proving you have an interest in the company's purpose/motivations would boost your application.
