First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Progressive Turnout Project.
Program Coordinator
It was a fully remote process. They had a part where you answer questions on video yourself, with unlimited tries, and a written part. The written part asked about how you would handle different situations. Then there was a regular interview with some of their staff.
- Standard interview questions, and how would you handle a situation, etc.
Field Leader
The interview process was very specific and well thought out. It included role playing as well as pertinent questions and statements about what you will be facing on the job. It also gave you the opportunity to present yourself, including your strengths and what you would like to improve upon.
- On-the-spot role playing scenarios were presented and had to be answered.
- There were very interesting and relevant role playing scenarios.
Field Representative
We started with a recorded video interview where you get plenty of time to practice your answers, which is a nice touch. It had about 7 questions in total, and you're given plenty of time to prepare for each one. The interview itself felt pretty laid-back.
- What motivates you to want to join PTP?
Field Organizer
I interviewed for a Field Organizer position for a 2020 Senate race in the South. As a recent graduate with some political internship experience but limited organizing background, we had a good discussion, but I haven't heard back since.
- Are you comfortable with phone calls, and what methods would you employ for recruiting volunteers over the phone?
