Asked about my background in organizing, interest in the position, and we discussed some of the initiatives they were currently undergoing. Interviewer was late. Once they arrived done in about 30 minutes.
1. phone screen (a bit long/in-depth for a first round with a recruiter). focused on typical first round questions, past projects, interest in working at a labor union.
2. video call with project manager (focused more on team building rather than technical expertise)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you interested in economic justice? Tell me about a time when you mentored someone else, and how did you handle them falling off-track?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at UNITE HERE (Baltimore, MD) in Feb 2025
Interview
It was pretty straight forward and they really asked a lot of questions about my organizing experience. I knew they weren’t serious about me when they asked about how I felt about salting. Such a disappointment because UNITE HERE does great work, but I think they use these interviews of candidates they don’t see as good fits as a means for recruiting salts.
