I actually did not apply for this position. I had previously applied for two separate coordinator positions, and a month after submitting the second, I received an email to interview for a Senior Policy Advocate position. I interviewed, but was surprised they emailed me because I am at an entry level in my career and hadn't applied. I was also very taken aback by the Executive Director's condescending tone and questions that, in my opinion, demonstrate a frightening lack of understanding of sexual violence. One question she asked was "Why do men commit sexual assault," which I found troubling to automatically assign a gender to a perpetrator. But after I discussion the root of power and control, she further prompted," but then why do they use sex?" This made me feel uncomfortable and is not an appropriate understanding of sexual assault being rooted in control. She also asked how I would interact with police officers who victim blame. The question itself made sense, but she posed as an officer, and began pushing back and saying typical victim blaming phrases like "well she was drunk so she asked for it." Not only did this continue the gendered lens through which she framed the discussion, but it also made me feel uncomfortable and felt slightly triggering. Some of the questions were generic and relatively easy to answer, but those two made the interview a bad experience. Overall a very uncomfortable and frustrating experience. After sending thank you letters, I never heard back.
