I was excited to work on expanding educational opportunities for all, but the interviewing process was grueling and this is for an entry level position. I had 3 interviews that lasted about 3 hours each with 2 assignments to complete. The interviews went fine, but felt impersonal because they used laptops to type your answers to interview questions. It all felt so calculated and uneasy. The whole process took about 2 months and I was left hanging for awhile to hear back. I wish they took into consideration how exhausting it is finding employment when you’re unemployed. This took way too much time and energy for an entry level position.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to introduce a new system
The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Broad Center
Interview
They actively pursued me on LinkedIn before I agreed to submit an application. Their interview process is exhaustive & excessive . The program's end goal appears to be raising its applicant acceptance % with 2,500 - 3,000 applications with no real intention to hire you. Only 45 people are hired. The group seeks very liberal hires as they hire the same types of people with no real change to urban public education since the program started. Eli Broad should be embarrassed to have such a program that's been around for 15+ years with no real results in urban education. Academic achievement gap will be the same 20 years from now unless they really seek a diversity of talent of thought in the broad residents with real progressive leadership skills & experience.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you had to handle a difficult employee?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Broad Center (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Applied online and was contacted for a phone interview. Initial phone interview was pleasant. I was then given a homework assignment. The homework assignment took several hours and while it did seem to relate well to the day to day duties of the position it was a lot to expect so early in the hiring process. This would have been more appropriate after an in-person. A month after sending in the completed assignment I never so much ever heard a thank you or anything. Noticed the position never seemed to get filled but they made new posting on linkedIn. Very disappointing that this seemed to be another company that just wants some free labor then ghosts you. Hope they found my templates useful ^_^
