I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Open Society Foundations in Mar 2019
Interview
Bluejeans interview following a phone interview. The phone interview was a regular hr interview. The video conference was with two of the program officers, so I was asked several
specific questions related to the position.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you tell me about a time when you were expected to deal with sensitive information?
Can you tell me about a time when you did not know how to do a task and you gained the necessary knowledge to do it?
If you were to organize a meeting, how would you do it? Can you tell me how you would do it step by step?
Can you tell about a big mistake you have done in your life? How did you deal with it?
I interviewed at Open Society Foundations (New York, NY)
Interview
I received an e-mail from the hiring coordinator from their London Office to schedule a phone interview. The recruiter was very unprofessional, I waited about 10 minutes until she finally called me. We begin the phone interview and I could tell she was rude and didn't really care for what I had to say. She basically told me that I was over qualified for the job and that they wanted someone to be in this position for a very long time, almost forever. She cut the interview and said we shouldn't proceed. I have never experienced anything like this during an interview.
