So I had 3 interviews for this Assistant role. The first was a quick 20-minute phone call with HR, then a 45-minute phone interview with the manager. Finally, there was an in-person interview that lasted an hour. The whole thing took about a month, which was pretty quick. Communication was smooth, and the interviewers were nice. I think 3 interviews is a bit much for an entry-level gig though, they could probably simplify it. I've applied to similar jobs at The Huntington before and didn't hear back, so I guess you gotta fit the requirements just right.

The screening interview was done over the phone and was pretty simple. It was just the first interview, and they asked me about my past jobs and any gaps in my resume. They also wanted to know when I can work.

The interview process was really weird. I had a great initial call with HR, even though she was super late. It seemed promising, and they said the VP would follow up in a week. Three months went by with no word, and then I got a generic email saying they chose someone else. Kind of a ghosting situation after that promising start.
