Interview
The interview process began with an initial phone screening with the HR representative to confirm qualifications and discuss the role’s expectations. This was followed by a virtual panel interview with three senior staff members, focusing on situational and behavioral questions, as well as examples of past work in media relations, strategic communications, and stakeholder engagement. The panel asked about experience handling crisis communications, building relationships with journalists, and managing multi-platform campaigns. The final stage involved a short writing exercise to assess clarity, AP style accuracy, and ability to adapt messaging for different audiences. Overall, the process took about three weeks from application to final decision.
