I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NJPAC (Newark, NJ) in May 2024
Interview
A quick Zoom interview with the program coordinator and an additional manager. I was asked about my arts and education background, which I happily elaborated on having provided my resume.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was given a scenario where I was asked to rank tasks in order of importance: grabbing supplies, assisting with missing furniture, noticing an unattended classroom, getting a call about a bathroom leak.
It’s very pleasant, the team at NJPAC are very nice and care a lot about their work. The interview was quick and professional. The interview process was pretty standard. I met with the program director and her assistant.
Zoom interview.
Ever had an interview where the interviewer brings up the topic of diversity, but a familiar tone of that NJ insularity comes through to you? That part.
I must admit I didn't go into the interview very interested about the position, and this interview did nothing to inspire me. (Compared to other interviews I've had at other orgs.)

Question 1
It was more of a chat. I don't feel that the interviewer asked me much about my experience in relations to the job's responsibilities.
I felt that I was being humored. Or tolerated. Not saying that this was the person's intention; it's just how I felt.
