Two virtual interviews with department head and department manager. They went well and they were understanding when I let them know my honest situation. They liked my experience and gave feed back about what they were looking for. I got the job and was happy ever since.
- What was my past experience, work wise and technical experience with programs. What was my comfort level working in a team and on my own.

2 interviews. Both were super easy. 1st one was just a pre phone screen with a recruiter to talk about the job and goals. 2nd interview with another higher up to discuss some more in-depth questions about you and some on job questions which were super easy..no way to mess up on them they want you to be honest. takes about a few days for them to follow up again with offer letter and now just waiting on background check
- what is your biggest strength/weakness? if someone was sleeping on the job what would you do?

Interviewed with 2 USAID workers. Interview lasted for about 45 minutes and they asked pretty basic questions, nothing in particular about USAID but about my interest in disaster relief, if I had attention to detail or more broad concept focused, etc.
- Are you someone who likes working with broad concepts or with fine details? Do you have experience with data analytics?

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at PAE (Washington, DC) in Apr 2022
Received an email notifying that my resume was impressive and being considered and scheduled a pre-interview. The pre-interviewer assured me that it went well and I'm a strong candidate and will be passed onto the final interview. Never heard from them again. Ghosting applicants halfway through the hiring process is terrible practice and reflective of the company.
- The Pre-interview was simple, just discussing the job description and my resume.
