Behavioral Technical Presentation
Applied for the job and heard back in a few weeks for an interview. But then I didn't hear anything for months. When I finally did, they said the position had changed and they asked me to interview anyway, even though I didn't get an updated posting. The new person in charge set up a very last-minute interview. They asked about my skills and museum knowledge but didn't really say what they wanted, it was totally open. I had no idea I was supposed to know all the exhibits and WA standards by heart. I was really upset afterward. It felt like a setup to fail. I wouldn't recommend the education department. The questions were leading and random, and the interview was super rushed, under 20 minutes. The shortest ever.

I got a phone call from the MoPOP to schedule an interview with me the following week. I showed up and two men talked to me for 12 minutes, firing off questions from their clipboards that sounded like they printed out from Googling "good interview questions." They hardly even looked up at me as I was responding. It felt like I was wasting their time and I felt really unwelcomed, which was weird because they have so much experience with customer service. They offered me the job about a week later, and I declined because the pay was low, the hours were unpredictable, and the interview left me with such a bad taste in my mouth. I still absolutely adore this museum, but I know I'll be better off not working there.

The interview process involved meeting with Anita and the head of Social Media. The environment felt very welcoming, and the building was impressive. They asked questions related to social media and media production, covering aspects like videography abilities, camera skills, and how work and school schedules might fit together. The interview was conducted in a relaxed manner, and the interviewers were very attentive.

I started with a phone call that lasted about an hour, and it was pretty good. The person I spoke with sent me a free exhibit ticket and asked for some social/email marketing campaign ideas. I went to the exhibit, brainstormed a page of ideas, and then went in for an in-person interview with him and a coworker. That meeting also went well, and he mentioned they wanted to hire quickly and would be in touch the following Monday. I didn't hear back, even after sending two follow-up emails.
