They interviewed me. It was just a conversation. There was discussion of what the job would entail and my reasons for being interested, they said they would call, and later they gave me an offer over the phone and had me come in to sign papers.

Behavioral

You'll get a call to schedule an interview. They'll typically call everyone who applies, but if the applicant list is long they may not get to you. If you call and leave a message, they'll schedule you for an interview. It's really easy. The truth is they'll hire anybody if the interview goes well. Just answer the questions and talk about some important causes to you.

  • Can you discuss a cause that is important to you?

The interview process was a bit confusing at first. A recruiter met me on campus and asked about my general experience with some unclear questions. I didn't realize it was an interview until midway through. At the end, he asked for my resume and said it counted as the first round. The next day, someone from the central office contacted me for a Skype interview. The questions were similar to the first round, but I had to go into more detail about my nonprofit experience. I felt pretty good about it because I was just talking from my heart. After the second round, I followed up a few times and was asked about my top three location preferences. Within a week, I got an offer and had three days to decide. I accepted, and though they wanted me to start right away, I needed to graduate and get organized, so they gave me about a month and a half. There was no help offered for moving or finding housing.
