Program Coordinator at Aspen Institute
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Washington, DC Nov 2009 – Reviewed May 23, 2012
Interview Details – I started out as an intern at the Aspen Institute and worked my way up. The best way to get hired is via internal reference. They will look for internal hires before looking for external hires (and even with external hires, as most jobs in Washington go, it IS about who you know).

Program Assistant at Aspen Institute
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Washington, DC Jul 2010 – Reviewed May 8, 2012
Interview Details – referral from former employee; first received phone call from current intern, then came to the office for 1:1 interview, then after given offer with no room to negotiate i accepted and began work within the month. all protocol was simply that as no other candidates were seriously considered. good for me at the time since i was unemployed for 6 months, bad for me in that i had no idea the psychotic nature of management, nor the lack of opportunities i would have. o well, i moved on :)
Interview Question – what makes you qualified for this job? unexpected in that i had multiple degrees and this position was far below my capabilities, which was known, but i guess they wanted to keep with protocol just this once Answer Question

Intern at Aspen Institute
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Aspen, CO Mar 2009 – Reviewed Dec 30, 2010
Interview Details – I applied online and received an email a few days later about a phone interview. I was abroad at the time, but they were very pleasant and arranged the interview around the extreme time difference. First phone interview was with 1 person, the second was with a panel of 3-4, and the third was with my future internship director. Overall great experience.
Interview Question – Tell me about a time when you let someone down. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Took the offer as they gave it.
