Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Impaq International.
Research Analyst
I got a call back a couple weeks after applying online for a phone interview with a recruiter. The whole process took about 2 months from the phone interview to the final decision. After the phone screening, I was invited for an in-person panel interview. Some people were physically at the DC office, while others joined via webcast from Columbia, MD and other locations. I wasn't happy that after the in-person interview, they said I'd hear back the next week, but I had to chase them myself a few weeks later. They told me they hadn't made a decision yet and would be in touch, but I still heard nothing. I followed up again and received a generic email a week later stating they had chosen another candidate. While the experience wasn't awful, I felt like they strung me along after the in-person interview. Since I didn't hear back within the timeframe they gave, I figured I didn't get the job, but their HR person said they were still deciding and would let me know. I wish they had just told me upfront if I didn't get it, instead of dragging it out for another month and a half.
- Can you talk about your research experience listed on your resume?
- How do you handle having multiple deadlines at the same time?
- Can you tell me about your experience managing projects?
Research Analyst
Got an email from a recruiter asking for a phone interview. They asked basic screening questions about my interest in IMPAQ and my technical skills. About two weeks later, I had a phone interview with their senior research analyst, who seemed to understand my skill set well. However, the panel interview a week after that, with three people who weren't math majors, focused heavily on writing skills. It turned out they were looking for a writer, not an analyst, which was different from the job posting.
- Can you describe how you handle demanding deadlines?
- Share your experience with grant writing.
- What's your approach to organizing and scheduling multiple tasks?
Research Analyst
I applied online and heard back via email about a month later to schedule a phone interview. The interviewer was very direct with her questions and it felt like we didn't really connect. I didn't get any feedback for about a week, so I emailed the interviewer to follow up, and she let me know I wasn't chosen for an in-office interview.
- Can you tell me about the last research project you completed?
