I applied online. I interviewed at Clean Water Action
Interview
The interview was very straightforward, explaining the ins and outs of the canvasser role, the training period and its goals, what the first week would look like, and introducing some of the key people in the office. The interviewer was very personable and there was only one interview between the online application and receiving the job offer.
It consisted of an Initial interview (around 30 minutes) on zoom and then in-person trial run. Here I walked around with a current employee and was shown the ropes before getting to try the job myself.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Clean Water Action (Providence, RI) in Mar 2023
Interview
Vague job description for "Public Health Internship" did not describe a canvassing role wherein you travel various distances going door-to-door using strong sales tactics in rotating locations after dark. I was told you would eventually be doing this independently, and your partners/teammates would be in other areas within some proximity but not directly with you. This could be incredibly dangerous for anybody, but especially any marginalized people. I was driven an hour away from Providence, RI, to shadow the canvassing, and if I did well, I could begin canvassing, for which I would receive a stipend. The initial travel and shadowing did not appear to be eligible for compensation. Everyone seemed nice but the job description for this role was far too vague.
