      Program Assistant Interview

      Nov 3, 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Smithsonian in Oct 2015

      Interview

      Contacted me via email for a 10 to 15 minute phone interview to tell me more about the job, ask about my experiences and screen me. Started out with simple chatting where she got to know me a little and it progressed to questions more typical of a normal interview that specifically related to the job. Very friendly interviewer made it relatively low stress.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do you have any experience writing scientific/technical papers? What was the hardest thing about working in (last job)? Do you have experience with cross cultural encounters? Have you ever been in charge of planning an event?
