I applied online for the Senior Technical Lead role about a month ago and then got invited to interview. It was a quick one. I started by introducing myself, and then the interviewer asked me some follow-up questions about my experience with Climate Change and coastal communities. Overall, it was a good experience.

So the interview process here at Habitat has a few steps. First, you'll chat with some specialists, the HSS Manager and/or WASH Manager. They're gonna dig into your technical skills and see if you get safety standards and WASH programs. After that, you'll meet with the Senior Project Manager. This chat is about your project management chops and if you're ready to hit the ground running operationally. Lastly, you'll have a chat with the person who'll be using your work, to make sure everyone's on the same page team-wise and dynamic-wise.

It was a pretty chill interview process, usually with 2 stages. The first stage was with my supervisor and HR. Then, the second stage was with the National Director (Region Manager) and the same two people from the first stage. They asked basic questions, so no need to stress about any weird ones. The interviewers seemed more interested in my personality and character than my achievements.

The recruiter contacted me for an initial phone call. It was straightforward, although they asked me to pause several times so they could take notes. I was invited to a second interview, but it had to be postponed because the hiring manager was on vacation. I got sick around that time and asked for an extra three days to recover. Unfortunately, I then received an email saying they were moving forward with other candidates. It's frustrating because they rescheduled for themselves but expected me to interview even when I was ill with pneumonia. I'm quite disappointed. Considering the poor communication, I guess I might have avoided a bad situation.
