Presentation Behavioral
I was encouraged to apply by someone who emailed me about the opening. I interviewed with a panel and was told I'd hear back within weeks. They totally ghosted me even after I sent a follow-up email. I don't mind not getting the position, but it's EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL not to let candidates know the outcome after they invested time and attention in preparing for and attending the interview. And you want to increase diversity and inclusion in your organization? Start by treating candidates like human beings regardless of their race or ethnicity.

Applied online and was called in for a virtual interview that lasted about 45 minutes with my direct supervisor and another assistant. They said they'd let me know about next steps within two weeks. HR called me about a week and a half later to offer me the job. Overall the process took about 3 weeks.
