The interview process was pretty standard. They inquired about my connection to Israel-Palestine and asked for details about my previous experience with the specific skills needed for the job. My only complaint is that I didn't receive any follow-up after the first interview round.

I applied in February, but didn't hear back for a phone interview until April. The interview was pretty basic, asking things like why I was interested in JStreet, how my views aligned with theirs, and what kind of work I was looking for.

I applied online and sent in my cover letter, resume, and a writing sample related to the office's interests. Then, I had a phone interview with the NY office. They asked if I would also consider the DC office. I said yes, and then had a phone interview there based on the NY office's recommendation.
