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 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.
