I had a phone interview where the interviewer didn't bring up my resume at all. They just went through a form with multiple choice questions, which I thought was strange. There wasn't much personal connection, and I was pretty disappointed. I kept wondering what the purpose of those multiple choice questions was.

The interview was very casual. The interviewer was friendly and all the questions were straight-forward. It lasted about 45 minutes in total, allowing time for my questions at the end. Unfortunately, I never received a response.

YBCA was very responsive and the interview took place in the lobby, which made for a comfortable setting. There was plenty of opportunity to discuss my interests and the institution's goals. It really felt more like a conversation than a typical interview. They took brief notes, but mostly they listened and engaged. It's helpful to know that YBCA isn't a museum and to show you've done your research. Overall, it was a positive experience.

I had a 30-minute phone interview with Dorothy Dávila, the Chief of Curatorial Initiatives, where she asked about my background in public programs and curation. She was pleasant. After the call, I was ghosted for a month. I emailed twice before she finally replied, and then the HR team sent a generic response.
