      Program Assistant Interview

      Jun 5, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Corvallis, OR
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Arc (Corvallis, OR) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      They interviewed me for nearly an hour and a half and then expected me to work 6 hours unpaid as a working interview. I declined. They were also very unprofessional during the interview. The head of the organization asked me multiple times when I moved to their town, said the town is nice if you can afford it and made other snobby comments during the interview. Then they thanked me for being honest. I have 8 years of experience in the field so I was not expecting to have to prove my skills, especially for so long when they could have just called my numerous references from relevant experience. It seems like they may have wanted a volunteer to save money. The job I applied for paid a meager $12.20 per hour. I tried to ask if they could have me do a 2 hour working interview that was paid upon hire, but they never got back with me about it.

      Question 1
