First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Associate
Had some easy behavioral interviews, the people were really warm. They asked for references and contacted them, but I was never formally rejected. I was ghosted even after two follow ups which was disappointing given how well everything else had gone. Saw on LinkedIn that someone else started in the role and it would have been nice to have been informed by the staff members that they were going with someone else. Seems like a nice place to work.
- What motivated you to apply for this position?
Research Assistant
I got referred for the Research Assistant job and heard back in the first week. They set up a phone interview, which was short, about 25 mins, asking standard career questions. After that, I had to complete a writing test that took about 2 hours. This test gave me a feel for the job and let them see if I was a good fit. The next day, I got another interview request. During this time, I realized while the work at DCCC is good, it's not really for me. So, I let them know I was no longer interested.
- What are your methods for staying organized?
- What draws you to the field of research?
Compliance Assistant
I applied online and they got in touch via email to set up a phone interview. It was a pretty standard chat where we went over my experience, my interest in the role, and specific tools and tasks I'd handled. Honestly, it felt like we weren't really connecting, and as the call went on, I felt less excited about the job. I sent a thank you note, but never heard back. I guess I can see why now, as I realized later I made a mistake related to 'lack of attention to detail'. It's a shame I didn't even get a rejection email though. Funny enough, years ago I tried to get into the company by having a friend pass along my resume, and I just got an acknowledgment of receipt. They were super busy then, but still, I don't think I'll bother with them again.

- Why are you interested in this particular position?
Assistant
I sent in my application online and after about 3 weeks, I heard back via email to set up a phone interview. The interviewer called me and we chatted for about half an hour. They said they'd let me know if I was moving on to the next steps.
