In my twenty years as a professional, this was by far the best selection process I have ever experienced. Cortland Partners knows it isn't a place for everyone; but, it is an incredibly special team to be part of. Overall, I found the interview to be a highly engaging process assessing my relevant skill set while gauging the depth and breadth of my experience. I really valued the opportunity to determine whether I could envision success in the role if hired, through candid discourse. It was refreshing to have so many people simply tell it like it is, while letting their evident passion for what they do, and who they do it for shine through. I met with a broad spectrum of representatives of the Cortland team which provided a greater lens into not just the role itself, but what it means to be part of the organization. I categorize the interview as average because I expect to be challenged, especially at this level. I can appreciate that for some, the process may be perceived as intense which might take them out of their comfort zone.
