HR called me to set up an interview. I then spoke with the department director and another manager. The whole interview process took about two hours. I got an offer the next day. I tried to negotiate my salary but they said they already offered the most they could for the role.

After a lengthy application process, there were two phone interviews, followed by an in-person interview. The HR also conducted an interview before I was hired by HR. They really care about your experience, you gotta know how to run a grassroots campaign before you even start. Knowing about the 2nd amendment is good and being like-minded, but the NRA will teach you more, so you don't have to be a pro.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Can you elaborate on your experience in grassroots campaign management?
- What are your thoughts and knowledge regarding 2nd Amendment issues?
- Are you prepared to fulfill the duties and expectations of this role?

Technical Behavioral Presentation
I applied by sending my cover letter and resume to an NRA hiring email. An HR rep then sent me a long application to fill out with all my job history, skills, and education, and I had to sign a background check waiver. After a couple weeks, HR called me for an interview. The first interview was 30 mins for spelling and grammar, 30 mins for Excel, 30 mins for Word, and then a 45-minute chat with the department manager. The second interview was a 1-hour talk with the senior manager. I had to do a 500-word writing sample about what I'd change about the NRA brand, which was assigned by the interviewer and due 24 hours before the interview.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Tell me about your favorite TV ad and explain your reasoning.
- What is your favorite product and why do you like it?
- If you could change something about the NRA brand, what would it be?

Technical Behavioral Other
I applied online and heard back two weeks later with a paper form asking for my experience and references, and to agree to a background check. I sent that back a week later and within hours, a recruiter from the NRA emailed me with questions from the Museum Director. Two weeks after that, I got an email to schedule an interview for the following week. I couldn't make it until the week after that, but that was okay. First, I had to take a grammar and spelling test, then a Microsoft Word test. Both tests had a 30-minute time limit. After that, I interviewed with the Director of the National Firearms Museum. He asked about my social media experience and for my ideas on how the museum could improve its social media presence.
Confirmed questions3 questions
- Do you support the NRA's mission?
- What is your experience with social media?
- How can the National Firearms Museum improve its social media presence?
