A two-month process, including HR initial screening call, interview with a staff member (not the hiring manager), and an assessment. I was given 72 hours to develop a PPT deck (10 slides), key messages, and an Arabic press release. I was given a scenario and asked to address strategy, policy, and communications. In the end I wasn’t selected for the role. What was disappointing, however, was the fact that I was ghosted after reaching out and asking for constructive feedback — considering the amount of time and effort spent on what really is chargeable work, the least the company could have done was provide me with feedback.
