I applied online. I interviewed at So Others Might Eat
Interview
Had a screening call and then was scheduled for an interview about 3 weeks later. Had to follow up with the recruiter about scheduling. Thought the interview went really well, said they’d be in touch by the following week. I sent a thank you email to the interviewer a couple days later and was met with radio silence. Which was disappointing because she was very nice and I genuinely enjoyed talking with her. Still haven’t heard anything and it’s been a month. Sorry but ghosting applicants is rude especially at a small company such as SOME. But maybe I dodged a bullet because they seem unorganized …

Question 1
One of the questions I was asked was about a time I helped someone in a difficult situation. I explained how I supported a colleague who was overwhelmed during a busy period by assisting with their workload, coordinating tasks, and ensuring deadlines were met. This not only helped the team stay on track but also strengthened our working relationship and improved overall collaboration
