I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at New York Public Library (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
One month on average. First interview with manager about my experience, second interview with a panel of future coworkers to get to know me. Applying through pinpoint was daunting, but I reached out through linkedin as well.

There is usually more than one interviewer. They will ask typical behavior questions. One question I was asked was where do I see myself in 5 years.. in this day and age - I should have said hopefully alive and kicking. I answered at a branch that is bustling with patrons excited to participate in program.s.
