We’ll give you a brief overview of the job you applied for and also give you the opportunity to ask questions about our company history, values and goals.
Work Assessment
This is your opportunity to experience tasks that you’ll likely be assigned in the role you are applying for as well as give J Street the chance to assess your skills on key tasks required by the role. All of our assessments are designed in-house and are specific to the role itself, so they reflect actual projects or challenges that our team works on and the job responsibilities that the candidate would have.
Manager Interview and Panel Interview
Our interviews will give you an opportunity to meet (often virtually) some of our friendly, talented team members. Our folks will learn more about your experience and who you are outside of what your application and resume tells us.
