HR reached out to me and was efficient in setting up an onsite interview with the manager. I visited the new Stamford office downtown. The building is in downtown. The office lobby is brand new, with a nice, smaller lobby area. Next to the lobby is a big room with tables and chairs where many employees work. The manager was nice and introduced herself. She talked about the seating arrangements. I sent a thank you note afterwards, but never heard back, which was disappointing. The work hours are 8:30 am to 5:30 pm. I wish they would at least acknowledge candidates who take time off for interviews with a thank you or an update on their status.

Straightforward. I applied online and they called me within 2 weeks to interview with the managers I'd be working under. Didn't seem like there was a standardized interview process for this role, as the managers seem to run their own process when hiring for assistant roles. I had two total interviews before an offer. Competition is fierce for positions below the manager level, so a winning personality and demonstrated enthusiasm is just as important as your resume. If you're offered a position, know that NKF may put you through a background verification screening. Don't put anything on your resume that you can't prove.

This was a Zoom interview. The role was based in Toronto, but the interviewer was in Vancouver. It went well, like a good conversation. Then two days later, I had an "informal chat" with a couple of other team members, which also went well. After that, I was ghosted. The interviewer said she'd be in touch within a week, but I heard nothing. I sent another follow-up, but still no reply. It was totally unprofessional, but sadly common. I hope they learn from this so they don't disrespect someone else like that again – job hunting is tough enough without that.
