I applied online. I interviewed at American Forest Foundation
Interview
The initial interview was with one person from HR and one from the marketing team. This process was fine but the follow-up after the interview was extremely delayed. Time between application and interview was six weeks. After the initial interview, it was another six weeks to hear back from them.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at American Forest Foundation in Mar 2026
Interview
They reached out about a week after I applied. Initially, I completed a sample they requested on how I would reach out to a founder for donations, and I heard back a few days later for an initial interview. My first interview was with the hiring manager and an HR representative, and they were both very professional and kind. A few days later, I was invited to a second interview. This part is on me. I received some really bad news just minutes before the meeting and wasn’t in the right headspace, but I didn’t want to cancel because I really needed the opportunity in this tough job market. As a result, I didn’t perform well and knew I likely wouldn’t move forward.
After that, I never heard back—not even a thank-you note. I’m not sure why it’s become common practice for employers to ghost candidates. Other than that, it seems like a good place to work, just make sure you’re well prepared for the interviews.
