First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Human Rights Campaign.
Intern
There are two rounds in the interview process. The first round is a general behavioral interview that focuses on assessing culture fit. You'll be asked about your top choice for program placement, so make sure you know what each program offers. If you pass this stage, you'll proceed to interview directly with your prospective team. Each interview will have at least two staff members, but it's not meant to be overwhelming. The second round is more intimidating and will be specific to your qualifications and the position itself.
- Can you describe a time you worked in a fast-paced setting and how you handled it?
Intern
I had just one interview for this role. They asked pretty standard questions, nothing too surprising. It's really important to know why you want to work for them and any publications or programs that your department puts out. You need to make sure you know exactly what department you are applying for.
- Can you explain your interest in this specific department?
- What makes you want to work for this company?
- Can you tell me about the publications or programs produced by this department?
Intern
I had a phone interview that was quite challenging and lasted about 40 minutes. The interviewer asked over ten questions, covering both fundamental topics and role-specific inquiries. It's crucial to grasp the core responsibilities of the job.
- Can you describe your methods for staying organized?
