J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Council on Foreign Relations (Washington, DC)
Entretien
The first round was a standard screening with HR, followed by a second round with the Fellow the role would be supporting. I had to reach out repeatedly to different staff members in order to schedule the second round. They expected a tight turnaround, and when I rearranged my schedule on short notice, they then did not respond for days to inform me about next steps. I did not get a final decision until after several months.

Entretien
4 rounds, including a writing assignment. 1 interview with HR, one with the Senior Fellow, and one with a senior Admin rep. Overall intuitive subject-specific interview process. The overall process was less than a month but I applied as soon as the application opened.

Entretien
20 min phone screen, 45 min interview with the team that hosts the open position, finally a 2 hour "test" assessment (notably that had to be completed between the hours of 9 and 5). They ghosted me, despite following up with both the recruiter and the individuals who conducted my interviews.
