Sample interview questions
I have studied the evolution from classics like Tintin and Asterix to contemporary works. This helps me assess the significance and appeal of each lot to collectors.
I would provide clear, polite feedback explaining the reasons and, if possible, suggest alternatives or improvements to meet quality standards.
Previously, I curated a themed auction within a week by efficiently evaluating inventory, writing descriptions, and coordinating with the sales team to ensure timely listing.
I regularly follow industry news, attend online forums, and monitor auction results to understand current demand and pricing.
I admire Catawiki's unique marketplace for special objects and its commitment to transparency. This role aligns perfectly with my passion for comics and desire to work in a dynamic, global team.
