I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at National Council on Economic Education
Interview
Was invited to a phone screen then a group interview with two staff members. Was ghosted and never heard back. I checked LinkedIn and the job was given to someone the hiring manager had worked with in the past at another organization. Extremely unprofessional communication.

Question 1
How successful is your cold outreach to prospects?
I interviewed at National Council on Economic Education
Interview
The interview process was fairly timely. The Council consistently kept me up to date as to the status of my application and was very responsive to questions that I had about the position.

Question 1
What was one project that you were particularly proud of?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at National Council on Economic Education in Aug 2021
Interview
Multiple rounds of 1:1 interviews with different department heads (with 5 people in total). One take-home project.
The most frustrating aspect is that after making it to the final group of about a half dozen candidates, completing free labor, and taking time from my schedule for multiple interviews, the Council never contacted me again. I was surprised, as they seemed like a thoughtful group of people throughout. Ghosting candidates after such a commitment does not fit their stated company culture. I did not receive an offer, which is fine, but I also never received a rejection, which is frustrating. I sent a few follow-up emails and never heard a response.
