STEP 3: PRESENTATION
Once you have applied for a position, NPPN will review and evaluate your candidacy to determine solidarity with the mission of the hiring organization and the desired experience. Candidates progressed to the next level of the search process will be contacted for a telephone conversation. Those candidates who meet the specified requirements will be progressed to a face-to-face pre-screening interview with NPPN staff.
Following the pre-screening process, the next step is presentation of the most qualified candidates to the search committee of the hiring organization for review and consideration.
STEP 4: SELECTION
The search committee reviews the candidate information, then chooses the candidates they would like to meet for formal interviews. It is possible to have two or three rounds of interviews, lasting 60-90 minutes each. If you are chosen, NPPN will notify you concerning the arrangements, and the interview process via email and/or telephone.
STEP 5: CONCLUSION
Upon completion of formal interviews, it is the search committee that determines the top candidate for the position and it is the hiring organization making the offer of employment.
