I applied online. I interviewed at Packard Foundation in Aug 2025
Interview
I had a 30 minute intro call. I got the questions a few days in advance. They mostly asked about interest in the foundation, a few behavioral questions, how you stay organized, mistake you’ve made, etc. The Interviewer didn’t expect overly well-prepared answers, it was meant to be more conversational
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself, why you’re interested in the Packard Foundation? Also ~4 behavioral q’s that they send a few days before
