      Advancement Specialist (Executive Assistant to CDO) Interview

      28 Mar 2017
      Anonymous employee
      Washington, DC
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Smithsonian (Washington, DC) in July 2013

      Interview

      The hiring process can be long due to the background and security clearance check. The interview process was not bad at all. When you get the email from Security department make sure you read the entire email and follow the instructions. Make sure you have a government-issued ID.
