We do our best to move candidates through our process as quickly as possible. Sometimes the volume of candidates we receive is high, and we aren’t always able to get back to you as quickly as we’d like! If you haven’t heard from us, your application likely hasn’t been reviewed yet. You’ll hear back from our team whether you’re moving forward in the hiring process or not. Sometimes our interview process can take up to 8 weeks, so please be patient with us.

Apply early: We recommend applying early when you spot a role you’re interested in. A cover letter is not required, but it never hurts to include a tailored concise cover letter detailing your relevant experience and interest in our organization (we can always tell when you submit a generic cover letter!).  This is also a great opportunity for you to show us why you’re interested in Merit America and why you want this job in particular. 

Tailor your resume to the role: We also recommend tailoring your resume to the role. It should be very clear to our recruiting team that you have the skills and qualifications that we’re looking for. 

Volunteer for mock interviews: We are always looking for volunteers to help with mock interviews. Volunteering is a great way to get involved in our organization, meet some of our learners, and see the way we operate, as well! If you are interested, you can sign up here.

You sure can! However, if you see the same position listed multiple times, just apply once, we’ll see your application. If the role/job descriptions  are different and you feel you’re qualified for both, please feel free to apply to both roles!

WePow is an asynchronous video interview platform, meaning you’re the only one actively participating in the interview. We have predetermined questions that will help us get a better understanding of why you’re interested in Merit America and that position in particular and will give you the opportunity to talk about your experience in regards to the role. Some tips for doing well: 

– Do your research on Merit America and reflect upon why you want to work for us and in this role.
– Be yourself! We want you to be your authentic self throughout this process.
– We know that talking to yourself in a one-way interview can feel awkward, but do your best to not be nervous! Some people find it helpful to ‘mock interview’ themselves and practice speaking about your experiences when no one is on the other end replying back. A great way to do this is in front of a mirror.
– Be conscious of your time to answer. Most questions have a 2-3 minute time limit. Make sure you’re concise with your answers and wrap up your thoughts before the time runs out.
– Be sure to complete the WePow within the time frame given (usually within 3 days).
– WePow is best used in the most up to date version of Firefox, Edge, or Chrome. WePow is also compatible with iOS and Android devices, but we recommend using a laptop or desktop with a camera and microphone.

We wish that we could speak with every candidate, but the number of highly qualified applicants for a role is often too high to allow for it.  Our small team reviews about 5,000 applications each month.  We know this might be frustrating, so we encourage you to apply early.

Please be cautious. We have been made aware of fraudulent job offers sent via imposter email and social media accounts. Only respond to email messages that come from our official team email addresses. If you encounter any suspicious activity or receive unsolicited job-related messages, promptly report them and reach out to our official social media account. Your vigilance helps us maintain a secure application process.
