I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at East-West Center in Jan 2022

Casual virtual interview. They ask about your experience with research, databases, Adobe, and other technical things. They also ask about what regions/countries interest you and how your interests fit the East-West Center.

Question 1
If you wrote an article for the Asia Matters for America project, what would you write about?
Good and efficient. There was good communication and clear instructions on the position and process. People were friendly and seemed to know what they were doing. No real complaints. During covid times they seemed adaptable to remote working and were flexible with location.
Contacted for phone interview two weeks after sending application. Was given clear time frame for when I would hear back about decision (less than two weeks). When I wasn't offered the position, the hiring manager was very clear about why I wasn't what they were looking for despite being very qualified and I appreciated that.
