This process started at my college at AAU San Francisco, CA and now I am working just through the company vs. my college. It has been a great and seamless on-boarding!

One phone interview followed by an in person interview. This was the Washington D.C branch. I had volunteered with the organisation for 6 months prior to applying for a formal position. Both interviews were pretty easy and I was obviously extremely qualified. After the second interview I was pretty much guaranteed the job. It was just a matter of sending references and waiting. 1 week passes..nothing..2 weeks go by and 1 update request late still nothing. Never in my life have I just straight gotten no response after an in person interview. Always, always, always I will at least get a letter stating that they went with someone else. It was just a total shock and slap in the face unprofessional in every sense of the word. And its no wonder. I'm so sick of walking into these non profits that claim to serve communities filled with people that look like in me that are in my tax bracket-but have well to do yuppie white leadership. They'll claim up and down that its because we aren't applying or were are not qualified but the truth is that they wont hire us. They're more interested in dolling out charity to assuage their guilty privileged conscience then actually empowering a community.
