I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Search for Common Ground in Nov 2022

Interview

I got an email Tuesday night before Thanksgiving offering a 30-minute screener, with time options on either Thanksgiving or the day after. Recruiter sounded really positive but never followed up and ignored my email a week later. On Christmas Eve I received an email stating that the interview process was a bit delayed, but never heard anything after.

Interview

The process here was... Not good, which was sad because this was, I thought, my dream job. I applied in April... finally heard back 1 month later to schedule an interview with a recruiter, which was fairly generic hiring questions. It took nearly another month to hear back after that, which was just to say they weren't ready to schedule second interviews because too many people were on vacation. FINALLY had the second interview scheduled in June, two months after the first interview, with a few members of the HR staff, and it was more HR specific questions this time. I thought the interview went really well. At the end, they let me know they were at the very beginning of the process of second interviews so it would be a while before I heard anything... and I was patient. So patient that two entire months went by without a word, until I finally reached out to the recruiter myself to request a status update and found out I just didn't get it and got a "oh whoops thought we contacted you already!" It's 2022 and email is free, if people can take leave from their current positions and give you 1-2 hours of their time for multiple interviews, it seems like you can at least show them the respect of sending a timely rejection letter.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Search for Common Ground (Ḩawwārah, Amman Governorate) in Mar 2022

Interview

The interview was for 45 minutes, an HR employee, line manager and director. The interview had too many long questions. Each question had several sub questions. Many of these questions where too technical to explain in an interview. They could have tested the candidate technicality through a technical test than verbal. They did not open their cameras.

Good, fairly straightforward. Fairly easy. Friendly and not difficult. But I feel like once you interview you pretty much have the job. Otherwise it was basic and normal for an unpaid internship

You get an initial call from who would be your supervisor as a phone screen. Then I received further call to inform me that I had received the position. It was a relatively easy process!
