      Program Assistant Interview

      20 Nov 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Aspen Institute in May 2022

      Interview

      Clear communication throughout the process with the hiring manager (person who would be my supervisor). Interview was more like a conversation which was great, and hiring manager patiently answered all my questions. After the second round, I was offered the role by the end of the day.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      First round questions were more generic, like tell me about yourself, how did you hear about this role, why is it interesting, tell me about a time when x. Second round was more situational + things of more substance like questions surrounding my skills + experience and how and why they’d be a great fit for this role, and why I want this role. There were a couple more unique questions that related to the teams work, culture and values.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Aspen Institute

      Interview

      It was really easy and everyone was very helpful. They pretty much asked me basic questions about myself. They got back to me in about a week for an orientation.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Aspen Institute (Washington, DC) in Jul 2010

      Interview

      referral from former employee; first received phone call from current intern, then came to the office for 1:1 interview, then after given offer with no room to negotiate i accepted and began work within the month. all protocol was simply that as no other candidates were seriously considered. good for me at the time since i was unemployed for 6 months, bad for me in that i had no idea the psychotic nature of management, nor the lack of opportunities i would have. o well, i moved on :)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      what makes you qualified for this job? unexpected in that i had multiple degrees and this position was far below my capabilities, which was known, but i guess they wanted to keep with protocol just this once
