I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Public Rights Project (Washington, DC) in Jan 2026
Interview
One thing I loved about their interview process was that they gave you the questions ahead of time. The reasoning for this was to make sure everyone was given the same questions.
I interviewed at Public Rights Project (Oakland, CA)
Interview
I appreciated the thorough, thoughtful interview process, as well as the clear communication and efficiency throughout. It was clear that they were looking to identify not only strong candidates, but values-aligned team members who would work hard to advance the mission of the organization.

Question 1
They asked me in depth about my editorial experience and work style, since this was a role that would require extensive experience in that area and a great deal of organization and project management.
I applied online. I interviewed at Public Rights Project in Mar 2025
Interview
I had two interviews with the Public Rights Project for the Writer/Editor position. Both interviews lasted an hour and required a lot of preparation on my part. They focused a lot on DEI-related questions, therefore giving the impression that they care about people. Then they ghosted me.
I started the interview process in March. It is currently August, and I just learned I didn't get the job after not hearing from them for four months, and checking the staff page to see they hired somebody else.
Advice to Public Rights Project: You seem to talk a big game about equity and inclusion, but you can't be bothered to follow up with applicants who take time out of their days to interview with you? That's not cool, and it suggests that you aren't fully walking your talk. Please do better. We're in the middle of an unemployment crisis, and people who take the time to interview with you deserve a follow up!
