First, there was a phone screen, then a virtual interview with the hiring manager. After that, a panel interview happened, but they ended up changing who would be on the panel. They also asked me to do a writing test. I decided to share two slide decks I made that showed example communication strategies. They didn't even have the courtesy to reply to my email asking about the decision for the role. The rejection I got was impersonal and probably AI-written, with no feedback at all.

I went through 4 interview rounds for the role. It started with a quick chat with HR, then a video call with the hiring manager. After that, I had a panel interview with people from different teams. The last step was another phone interview with the hiring manager. This whole process took about 1-2 months. I was told I was a finalist, with 2-5 other people being considered. But in the end, I got an automated rejection email from the platform.

I applied online and sent in my resume and cover letter. Then, I got a call inviting me to their Los Angeles office for an interview. It was with two of my future supervisors and lasted about 15-20 minutes. About a week later, they called again to congratulate me and we talked about when I'd start and how many hours I could work each week. I also had to pass a background check. The whole thing from start to finish took less than a month.

- I can't recall the exact questions asked, but I felt at ease during the interview. The interviewers were quite friendly.
