Question 1
Describe why the role interested you, describe your fundraising experience.
The recruiter called and then ghosted me. Lots of people here mentioned that this happens a lot with this organization. Now I know. It is a good way to burn bridges with potentially good candidates. Please treat people's time and interest with respect. Just let them know if they are not moving on to the next phase.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Nature Conservancy (Winston-Salem, NC) in Aug 2024
Interview
Like another applicant mentioned, I participated in a written interview with about 10-12 questions, which required a significant amount of time to complete. Unfortunately, I never received any feedback or a response to my follow-up email. What was most surprising was that their initial email outlined a clear timeline for the process, but none of it was followed.
This experience left me quite disappointed and has made me reconsider applying for future roles or recommending TNC as a desirable workplace.
