Grant Coordinator Interview Questions

436 grant coordinator interview questions shared by candidates

The normal questions until the 2nd interview. In the 2nd interview, the supervisor basically mentioned a tense/awkward work environment and seemed to be angry at those in lower positions for wanting to change the company. Asked me if I was okay with not having a seat at the table and for reassurance that their organization is in the right for not doing environmental justice work. Also said they believe employees who live in a state like Ohio for example should not be penalized by a lower salary than someone who willingly chooses to live in California, despite the great disparity in the cost of living. I saw all the bad reviews on here before the interviews but still considered the job because I am passionate about the work the organization does. I do not mind all that much that I didn't get the job because their attitude in the 2nd interview was rude and uninformed.

How would you handle (this particular impossible situation)? Several 'how would you handle..." questions. This is still done today, to see if a particular individual #1 has the appropriate knowledge to work in our field, but also to see how they will fit in. We are very much a team and need to function that way.
