I applied online. I interviewed at Catholic Relief Services
Interview
My experience with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) was deeply frustrating and unprofessional. After completing a lengthy interview process, involving five separate interviews, I received a benefits package that seemed to signal positive news. However, without any follow-up, I later found out on my own that the position had been canceled. Despite the significant time and effort invested in the process, there was no communication or acknowledgment from the organization. This lack of transparency, especially from upper management, reflects poor internal coordination and respect for candidates. I would advise caution when considering opportunities with CRS.
