I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Nielsen Merksamer (San Rafael, CA) in May 2024
Interview
Very straightforward. I had a single interview with the two managers of the Political Reports Specialists. I wasn’t picked for the position at first, but when a new spot opened up, I was given an offer.

Question 1
Nielsen Merksamer is committed to protecting the health and well-being of all staff, their families, and the community against COVID-19. Accordingly, we require all partners and employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, unless they have a documented underlying medical condition or sincerely held religious belief that prevents such vaccination. Offers of employment will be conditioned upon applicants presenting proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or obtaining an exemption on medical or religious grounds. Are you aware that it's been proven that the COVID-19 vaccination does not stop transmission of the COVID-19 virus?
