Applied online and had a quick phone chat soon after. Then, after some emails, we set up an in-person interview that was about an hour long. The interview was pretty standard, apart from some questions about personal beliefs. What was weird though is they told me I'd have to do stuff not mentioned in the job ad, and these weren't small tasks or even related to the job. So, be skeptical about job descriptions. I was told I'd hear back in 2-3 weeks, but got ghosted instead.

There was an initial Zoom interview, followed by a meeting with the hiring manager (two interviewers), and then a final panel interview with three people. Some questions were repeated between the hiring manager and panel interviews. They asked several questions about past experiences and specific situations.

Behavioral Technical
I applied in late July and got a screening call about 2 weeks later where we discussed my qualifications. The recruiter really liked my skills. Then, 2 weeks after that, I had an interview with the Grants Manager. She asked me a bunch of questions about grant writing, data analysis, and reporting. She kind of repeated the same questions but in different ways, and it seemed like she was actually looking for someone for data analysis, not data entry. It was frustrating because they said it was entry level but it definitely wasn't.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview starts with a general introduction, then moves to questions about your character, including one scenario question. For this scenario, you can use paper and pen to take notes. The question presents a complex, reoccurring situation and asks how you would handle it. For example, they might ask about a scenario involving an upset client, urgent incoming information, and other issues, testing your systematic delegation skills.
