I heard about the position through a former colleague and sent the marketing manager a tweet asking if they were still accepting applications for the position. She was impressed that I used Twitter to contact her and sent me a reply back with an email address, which I then sent my resume and cover letter. I received an email the next day asking if I could come in for an interview that week - and if I could complete a work project before then. I accepted the challenge and went in for an interview on Friday. I met with the Marketing Manager and the Community Manager, answering some basic questions and explaining my thought process for the first project. They called me that afternoon, requesting a second interview on Monday, along with a second homework assignment. The second interview was a bit longer, I first met with Lisa and Kimber to go over my assignment, then I met briefly with the Sales Team Director, and then I finally met with the President and CEO. Lisa called me that afternoon and offered me the position. The hiring process literally took between Wednesday evening and the following Monday. It was very quick and I was glad! 1st Project: Scenario: SimpleK12’s newest product is a 100% online, year-long technology UNconference for teachers.
