SEIU 775 Interview Questions
& Process

I went through 2 interview panels. I also observed a panel session during my visit. They evaluate participants on their preparation, the quality of their responses, and their overall conduct, such as maintaining eye contact.

The interview process itself was pretty good, and the questions were what you'd expect for a research role (like talking about recent projects and technical skills). However, my overall experience was bad because I never heard back after the interview, not even a rejection, which was about six months ago. This is unlike my experience applying to SEIU 775 previously, where at least I was told I wasn't moving forward. In this case, I was never contacted again post-interview. I did accept another offer shortly after, so I didn't follow up myself, but it seems really unprofessional to not follow up with an applicant.

Myself and one other applicant attended. The interview included introductions, an overview of current campaigns, a discussion about the daily life of a growth organizer, presentations, role-plays, and a Q&A session. A key takeaway is to take the "long and irregular hours" and "travel required" seriously. They emphasized that a successful applicant must be dedicated to the job, willing to work extended hours at any time, and comfortable traveling away from home for significant periods. The phrase "say goodbye to a personal life" was explicitly used, indicating this role is not suitable for individuals with families or existing social commitments.

So the first part was a phone screen where they asked me stuff about the subject matter and my project management experience. Then, I got a problem and had to create a program design for it, which I then had to present at the onsite. After my presentation, there was a group interview.
