First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at John Snow, Inc.
Project Coordinator
About two months after I applied online, I got an email to schedule an initial phone call. It was pretty standard and lasted about 20 minutes. Then, I was invited for an in-person interview with a current Project Coordinator and an HR manager. This was a nice 45-minute chat. A few days later, I got an email with their decision. It was a good process overall.
- What would you do if your local contact in another country kept delaying an important meeting during a field visit, and you were running out of time without a confirmed meeting?
Project Coordinator
I applied online and got a call about two weeks later. It was kind of a screening call, not really scheduled, and from someone high up in the department. It was short, maybe 10-15 minutes, just asking about my interest and background. Then they set up another interview for the next week. It was a panel with 6 people, which was a bit much. The questions were still pretty standard. It went on for about an hour. I heard back by email two days later with their decision. Overall, it was pretty smooth.
- What would you do if a donor wanted to move forward with a project, you were CC'd on their email, and your supervisors were unavailable because they were out of office or out of the country?
Project Coordinator
After I applied, they called me for an interview. It felt pretty laid-back and I could easily discuss things related to the job as well as more personal topics. I had seen some cool things about their work on their website, and I brought those up in the interview - they really seemed to like that, especially when I connected it to my own experience and what I'm looking to do in the future.
- How do you manage when you have multiple priorities that are all competing for your attention
