I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Potomac Conservancy
Interview
They were extremely communicative throughout the process. They never ghosted me and let me know every step of the way. There was a phone interview, then two Zoom interviews the month after. The final step was a writing assessment.
The interview questions were manageable, and they were extremely kind during the interviews. I unfortunately did not get the job but who knows, someone just might have had more experience than me, I never felt the interviews were too crazy.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What experience do you have producing content for people of varied demographics?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Potomac Conservancy (Silver Spring, MD) in Jan 2023
Interview
First interview was with the head of development, described to be a pre-interview chat which in actuality was an interview. I was then invited to a second interview with the executive director, but after telling the head of development I was newly pregnant, the offer was rescinded. I had told her this over email and she called to discuss how I planned to manage motherhood and the job; she decided I could not do both. I felt it was important I be honest about my situation although I knew I risked being rejected, despite that technically being discrimination. I had simply asked for one month off without pay to recover from the birth, which I thought was reasonable. It was not worth it to me to pursue a discrimination case and I instead focused on finding a position with an org that was not threatened by my status as a mother.

The process included a 30 Minute phone call then, if all goes well, followed with a 1 hour virtual interview. Following the interview, they stated they would then request and contact references.
