      Program Assistant Interview

      6 Jun 2022
      Anonymous employee
      Washington, DC
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Macfadden in May 2020

      Interview

      I had a virtual interview with 2 employees. I learned that they didn't actually have a position available, but that they were doing screenings to prepare a candidate pool. I was then recommended to another team that had an opening. I interviewed for this position and was told what the job was (wish I was informed the of the position before the interview to be able to prepare). After following up, I found out that I did not get the position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is your understanding of USAID programs? Would you be able to obtain a security clearance? What is your experience working with grants?

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Macfadden (Washington, DC) in Jun 2022

      Interview

      Basic questions about background, experience with written deliverables, experience with data analysis, how you handle multitasking and working with diverse experiences/perspectives. There were none of the "describe a failure" or "describe a stressful situation" questions
