After the People Services team reviewed my resume, I participated in a panel interview with both People Services and the hiring team from my department. Since the interviewers hadn’t seen my resume beforehand, I made sure to clearly articulate the details of my experience and qualifications.

Question 1
Describe your experience working with public policy
I applied online. I interviewed at Port of San Diego (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2024
Interview
"They indicated that my performance was excellent, but they were seeking someone at a junior level. This feels like job security for me. I had a sense I wouldn't get the position; I could discern it in their demeanor. It's frustrating to go through so many interviews, as it feels like a waste of time.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Port of San Diego in Sept 2022
Interview
Got a call for an interview over zoom about 2 months after applying. Did a second interview two weeks later. The questions were mostly situational and behavioral, not really technical. The people were very nice and we could talk casually towards the end. I asked when I would hear back after the second interview and the panelists did not know, but said HR would be in touch. I never heard back despite follow up emails and do not plan on hearing back since I got a better offer elsewhere.
