Applied via email, received invitation for phone interview a month later, completed phone interview. Was then asked to submit a writing sample. After submitting, was invited to an in-person interview, with 3 staff. The interview included typical questions (why I'd be a good fit, about my writing experience, my interest in CDC Foundation, etc), as well as a 1-hour writing exercise.

I saw a LinkedIn post from a recruiter that said to send your resume to them. So I did and she answered right away and gave me a couple of positions to choose from. So when I had the interview she thought I was interviewing for a different position so I corrected her and she says oh you don't have enough experience for this role, even though she was the one that suggested it to me. Then proceeded to try to get me to go for a position that only needs a high school diploma when I have a master's degree.
