Washington, DCPosted Aug 2020 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I interviewed for a Consultant (STC) role through a relationship-led, informal path rather than a formal multi-round hiring process, and it felt easy with the timeline measured in weeks to months.

Informal coffee chat / manager connection — I reached out via LinkedIn, had a chat with my future manager in Washington, DC, and used that conversation to move toward a short contract.
Contract extension leading to ongoing work — I initially got a one-month contract that was later extended for about a year, suggesting a smooth continuation once the initial fit was established. Outcome: I didn’t describe an “interview” with a formal panel, but the takeaway is that strong networking and direct manager alignment led to contract work that expanded over time.
