I got an email to set up a phone interview about a month after applying. It was pretty standard, I actually knew more about the foundation's work than the interviewer did. About a week later, they emailed to set up an in-person interview. They only offered one date, but I was already busy with my current job. I told them I could do any other date and was still interested. They told me to hold a different date and then I never heard back, even after following up. As far as I know, the job still hasn't been filled.

Got an email a few weeks after the closing date to set up an interview. The first round was a phone call with HR, pretty short, about 20 minutes, with general questions. A week later, I got a call to schedule a second interview, in person the very next day. Since I lived far away, I couldn't make it on such short notice. I didn't hear back for a few weeks, then got a call saying they went with another candidate because I couldn't make the in-person interview with enough notice and they couldn't figure out how to do it over Skype.

Technical Presentation Behavioral

The interviews are usually an hour long and involve a panel where about 10 questions specific to the program are asked to everyone. If the panel interview goes well, you'll get to talk with the director of the unit or the VP of the Center. The second interview is pretty straightforward. Just avoid sounding arrogant or being too critical about philanthropy and entitlement.
