Is this a nonprofit thing or are four fucking interviews for regular ass jobs the standard now?
Every single job I’ve applied for, the process is to do: (1) initial 30 minute phone interview, (2) 1st round 1 hour zoom interview, (3) 2nd round 1 hour zoom interview with different staff (or sometimes other people their org works with), (4) 90 minute in-person interview with more staff + some type of office tour
That’s four hours of interviewing in addition to seeing my resume, cover letter, and at times some sort of presentation or written response to questions.
The jobs I’m interviewing for are not hard-skill jobs. They’re nonprofit program manager positions where basically you schedule meetings and write agendas for smart people, research (Google) shit, and input data into some spreadsheets.
It seems like all of these organizations are just copying each other because they think that’s what they’re supposed to do. I mean genuinely why the hell do they need so many interviews. If you have more questions, just ask them all the first time around. I’m so sick of it.
The worst part of this experience is that for more than half the interviews I’ve done, they’ve actually been putting on a charade just to hire an internal candidate and pretend like they’ve done some type of due diligence by considering other options.
