It took about a month to complete the two interviews, which felt more like conversations than formal interviews. The entire process was very professional. The first interview was general, aiming to understand my motivations. The final interview involved department staff and focused more on my past experiences.

The interviewer was friendly, encouraging and clear. They provided a wonderful overview of the organization as a whole. As an interview, this was definitely a good experience. After a phone interview, I was scheduled for an in-person interview. Unfortunately, during the time between interviews, another candidate accepted a previously made offer.

It was a pretty fast process from submitting my resume to getting the interview call, only a few days. I only had one interview with one person. The vibe was pretty casual, and the person interviewing me seemed like a peer, not someone higher up. The interview itself was about 20 minutes long.

I had to submit an application first. It took some time to get a response, and I only heard back after I contacted the person reviewing the position. I think I sent my application materials directly to her as well as to HR. We had an interview about a month later, and it was a while before I was notified of the decision.
