Ive applied for three different positions at Human Rights Watch and haven even made it to the interview stage. What am I doing wrong?
We understand that it is disappointing to be so interested in a field like human rights or an organization like Human Rights Watch and not seem to be able even to get your foot in the door. Keep in mind that landing a job or even an internship with us is a highly competitive endeavor — HRW typically receives anywhere from 100-700 applications for every vacancy! Our best advice is to check our website for postings, review the desired qualifications, and build your resume around those skills. Each vacancy is a “standalone” search, meaning that you should apply repeatedly with separate applications as different positions catch your interest.
