I first applied online, and then the manager got in touch a couple weeks later to give me a skills test. I had three days for the skills test, and it took a good chunk of time. It involved editing a column, creating two campaigns for upcoming events, and writing an overview of a past sermon. After I finished that, I got an email a week later asking me to come in for an in-person interview. They didn't mention that another team member would be there, so I didn't bring an extra resume for her. The in-person interview was really quick. They mostly asked personality questions. The initial application is pretty thorough, and since I passed the test, they know I have the skills, so now they just wanted to get to know me.

I applied online and then t.d. contacted me for an in-person interview. I went to the interview, took time off work for it, and did a trial for the position. They called me afterward to let me know their decision.

I applied online in October. About a week later, HR asked for my unofficial transcripts. A few weeks after that, I had a phone interview with the Center Director. Two weeks after that, I had an in-person interview. Then, I did a 2-hour working interview in the classroom. Two weeks following that, I had a debriefing interview with the Center Director. A week after that, I had an in-person interview with Human Resources. A few days later, I got an offer.

Behavioral Presentation

I went through 3 interview rounds. They told me there would be one last interview. After building a good relationship with the hiring staff, they stopped responding to me, wouldn't take my calls, and sent an impersonal email saying the position was filled over a week after they said they'd be in touch.
