One of their recruiters reached out to me via email and suggested I apply for the position. I did, and I had a phone interview set up a few days later. That interview went well, just your basic interview and get-to-know-you questions. Apparently I passed, because I was invited to go to their campus in Provo for second interviews. I visited their building, had a brief tour with the recruiter, and then met with another member of the proposal writing team. That interview went well, and the questions were a little bit harder. Then I had a last interview with the person who oversees the proposal writing team, and this interview was a lot more challenging. I thought it still went well, and it wasn't just a cookie-cutter type of interview, which I appreciated. However, I didn't end up receiving an offer for the job, probably since I have little proposal writing experience.
Qualtrics does confuse me, though, because the last person I interviewed with wanted to set up a "pipeline" with BYU, the local university, to get a continual stream of writers. But if they want top-notch, experienced writers to match their philosophy of "always raising the bar," recent graduates probably aren't going to cut it with them. Anyway, it's almost May 2017 as I write this, and I've noticed that they still haven't hired a proposal writer. Apparently nobody is good enough for Qualtrics. While I really enjoyed the interview process and I learned a lot about how I could do better, I'm glad I didn't receive an offer. The tension and stress in that building was overwhelming—probably because the employees are all fighting for their lives.
