I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Fund for the Public Interest (Washington, DC) in Apr 2018

The interview process isn't really an interview process. They take just about anyone. Once you are done with the "stage one" interview which is in person with one of the directors, your "second interview" is what's called the "observation day", where you are taken out into the field and you have to get at least one contribution. If you manage that, then you begin your training days (at this point you still haven't made staff). There are three training days, and on one of those days you must make $150, not combined to the other days, and THEN you will be considered "staff".
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Fund for the Public Interest (San Marcos, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Formal, we went into breakout rooms after. They explained what the job was. Multiple people from all over the U.S. were on a Google Meet. Could be a good opportunity.
I interviewed at Fund for the Public Interest (Boston, MA)
Interview
Very well structured. Two step-process, one initial interview and then one second interview where you must demonstrate that you have learned the rap and observe a canvasser before going out for an hour alone with the aim to get a donation.

Weird interview process. Was under the impression I’d be having an individual interview only to be met immediately with a group of people. Can’t figure out what the pay per hour is either, they weren’t clear at all. Guess I’ll try it out.
