First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Erikson Institute.
Project Manager
The interview process wasn't managed well. During the panel interview, the interviewers admitted they weren't sure of their own job titles because of a restructuring. This seemed reflective of the overall organizational approach and was a red flag.
- Can you share an experience where you had to manage a challenging executive sponsor?
Faculty
The interview process was really communicative and welcoming. They respected my time and were clear about what they expected and the schedule. I could ask any questions I had about the job, and they were upfront about the requirements. They covered my travel expenses for the interview.
- They asked standard questions for a faculty position.
Policy Intern
The first interview was basically a chat where we, the interviewer and I, tried to figure out if we were a good match and if this job would be a good fit for me. Even though we didn't say it out loud, after I heard more about the job, it seemed like we both knew I was looking for a different kind of role with different experiences.
- What are your expectations for this role?
- Are you more drawn to large-scale initiatives or granular tasks?
Corporate Trainer
It was tough at first, they were talking about as a corporate trainer what should I do. The meeting was going forward and they asked some questions about my vision and what I can bring for the company. At the end they told me "we will call you..."
- What is your name?
- What are your abilities and skills?
- What can you bring for the company?
