The entire interview process, from application to job offer, took approximately 2.5 months. I was contacted for a first interview about 1.5 months after submitting my application via email; resume and cover letter were requested. Because I applied for an administrative position within the Museum Department, I first met and spoke with the Exhibitions Manager for the first interview, In the first interview, we discussed the general responsibilities as required for the position. Some questions that she asked were about my general work style and affirmation of the technical skills listed on my resume. The second portion of the first interview involved meeting with the Museum Director, in which he got a little more personal and asked about my interests and cultural background (they seek a culturally diverse staff in the Skirball). After finishing the first interview, the Exhibitions Manager emailed me requesting references. About a week later, I was asked to come in for the second interview, in which I spent half an hour speaking with the Director again. He shared more about the Skirball as an institution, its staff, and what I could expect from working there. We also discussed salary in the second interview. In the second half, I was sent to HR to take a skills assessment, which was average in difficulty. It tested basic skills on Microsoft Word and Excel, and included a typing test. I received a phone call with a job offer about two days later.
