It was a really fast and straightforward process. Just one in-person meeting that lasted about 30-40 minutes with the SCA folks. We had a relaxed chat about my education, degree, and past internships and work.

I applied and a few weeks later, I had this quick zoom interview. It was super simple. They asked me stuff about my experience teaching, working with kids, conservation, and doing outdoor stuff. I actually got the job offer right there in the interview.

I got an email to set up a phone interview, and they said it would be about two hours long. But, about halfway through, the interviewer mentioned they had another meeting coming up in 15 to 30 minutes and asked me to make my answers shorter, which I thought was pretty unprofessional. Also, the call cut out twice, but it was okay once the interviewer switched phones.

Got a short phone screening first. Then I met my supervisor in person at the office, she was only in town for a bit. She'd be my supervisor remotely. It was a relaxed vibe and the questions were pretty easy. They called me a few days later to offer the job. They emailed the info packet really fast.
