Behavioral Technical
It was a pretty basic public interest style legal interview. They wanted to see how I handled soft skills, my knowledge of the law for the cases they get, and my general expertise. The interviewers were chill, polite, and understanding. They asked some good questions about how important these skills are and how to deal with the stress and burnout that can come up in this kind of job.

There were 3 rounds in the interview process. It started with an HR phone screen, followed by a Manager interview, and then a Panel interview with about five team members. The whole thing took around 2 months. They mentioned that there were additional interviews planned after mine. They asked questions like how I would handle an escalated client situation and how I organize my tasks.

I interviewed for the Grant Writer role at Sanctuary for Families. They were great to work with, scheduling around my classes. The phone interview with the Development Director went well, and I was invited for an in-person interview. It was nice meeting the staff and learning about the company, but they gave me a writing test that I don't think showed my skills well. I didn't hear back after not getting the job, which I found a bit rude. When I asked for feedback, they gave me none. It's probably a good place to work, but don't expect any follow-up if you don't get the position.
