I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Kaiser Permanente (Irvine, CA)
Interview
I had a phone interview, paper interview, took a skill test and had a final in-person interview. The process took about 2 months. For the skill test, you have to reach certain score and if you get below score, you cannot apply for the postition.
Simple, but thought provoking. It’s in person and there are two people interviewing you, one was online and one was in the office. I got a tour of the office and it was quick

First interviewed with the Chief of Staff and then with the executive I’ll be supporting. Interviews were each 30 mins, very warm and conversational. Video calls. Equal time spent explaining the position as much as asking me about myself to make sure it was a good fit both ways.
