Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Freedom House.
Fellow
It was a 30 minute online interview with three Freedom House staff members. A few days later, I heard back that I was referred for a second interview. The staff were kind and engaged during the interview.
- Could you share an example of managing a large or long-term project?
- Describe a time you managed a conflict at work.
Intern
The interview was pretty straightforward and not too difficult. They wanted to know my motivation for joining the company and my interest in the specific role I applied for. They also inquired about the region and asked me a few questions in Russian.
- What makes you want to work here?
- What are your long-term aspirations?
- What is your interest in this particular job?
Intern
The interview went fine, but they seemed really focused on really specific skills, which made it feel more like a role for someone more experienced instead of an unpaid internship.
- Can you walk me through your research process, detailing each step?
