I had an initial screening call. It was with HR, so it wasn't too focused on the content of the project but more general questions about myself and my interest in the project.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about yourself and why you're interested in SSRC
Initial phone screening, a copyediting test, and a final 2-hour interview. The interviewers seemed unenthused and could have been more welcoming. I didn't feel as though the organization was a good fit for me, nor I a good fit for the organization.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Social Science Research Council (New York, NY) in Mar 2019
Interview
Easy and seamless interview process-- I had one pre screen interview and then the formal interview in person. I first spoke to HR and then ended up interviewing with my supervisor. I did not meet my supervisor's supervisor until I started the job.
