I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pacific Whale Foundation in Apr 2018
Interview
There were two interviews required for the process when I was hired. The first was a pretty standard phone interview for the employers to get a feel for your academic and professional background. The second interview is “presentation style” and held over Skype or FaceTime. For this interview, you are asked to give two 8-10 minute presentations on a marine focused topic of your choice. The first block of time should be directed at a more adult audience whereas the second block is directed at kids. You are expected to use at least one visual prop. This presentation style interview is a good way to show off your public speaking skills along with your ability to discuss marine conservation points with a diverse audience.
