It was a quick and easy process, mainly a zoom call with the department's manager and director. I got an offer pretty fast and was able to pick a start date that worked for me and the team.

There were three interviews: two with people from the Communications Department and one with the client from the cancer center. In the first and second interviews with the same people, they kept asking the same questions, which could have been a tactic or just disinterest. The third interview was inspiring and gave me a sense of what the job would be like.

I applied through the Reade website. Three weeks later, I got an invitation for an interview. The interview involved introductions from everyone, followed by specific questions about my motivation and work history. That same evening, I received a phone call saying that out of 7 good applicants, I wasn't selected because they felt I wouldn't fit their team!
