      Interview

      The hiring process begins by submitting an online application, which requires applicants to submit links to posts they have created for BuzzFeed Community. If they like what you're doing, they'll ask you to submit a few more. Then, you'll be asked to come in for an interview at the company HQ. The interview, usually with only one or two employees, is very casual. Mine turned into a great conversation. ** Come with questions to ask your interviewer.

          My daughter completed 2 rounds of interviews for internship at cultural center in DC . How long do they take to respond back ? It has been week and half. Should she send them an email asking status ?

          So I think the consensus is to NOT reach out after an interview? I’m interviewing with a University and they said they were going to fill the position by May. I checked Workday and my application is still active so do I just continue to wait? They did say I would hear either way. My first interview was last Thursday.
