This was a completely behavioral interview that lasted about 30-45 minutes. I talked to several team members about my previous experiences and how they fit the role, and also about my interest in the company's mission and culture.
- Why are you interested in the State Bar of California?
Program Analyst
A recruiter got in touch via email and arranged a brief call with the hiring team. This call felt like both a screening and an interview. Be ready for repeated questions, and they might not have your resume handy. I was asked multiple times about my technical skills. As an analyst, that's crucial, and I'm not sure how many times I had to explain that I do. The person on the phone didn't seem to listen, which was a red flag for me. It felt like they wanted a specific answer, hence the repeated questioning.
- What's your rating for your Excel skills?
- Can you confirm if you possess technical skills?
- What are your career aspirations for the next 5 years?
Program Coordinator

- Can you describe a challenging situation you've faced and how you handled it?
- How do you manage when you have multiple deadlines to meet?
