Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at National Endowment for Democracy.
Research Associate
I had a written assignment first, then I interviewed. The interviewers were nice. It took them over two weeks to get back to me after I asked about my application status. They said they were still reviewing and would let me know. It's been about a month and a half and still nothing, so I guess I didn't get it. It's kind of unprofessional not to let candidates know where they stand after two interview stages.
- Can you tell me what you understand about the role and the company?
Research Associate
I applied for this job online and after about a month, I was asked to do a writing test. A few weeks later, I had an interview at their office with two senior managers and two project assistants. It felt like a casual chat, very friendly. They said it would take a few weeks to decide and I haven't heard back yet, but there's still a chance for an offer.
- Questions about my background, qualifications, interests, and why I'm applying for this job.
Research Associate
I had 4 interviews total. 3 Skype interviews first, then a final in-person interview. The process was a bit messy. Instead of talking to the whole team at once on Skype, I ended up interviewing with each team member individually on Skype, and then had to do it all again when I came in person to meet with them.
- Tell me about a significant or life-changing experience you've had.
