Candidate-reported interview process

After applying, I was contacted about a week later to set up a virtual interview. I interviewed with two supervisors I'd be working under. The interview was about 25 minutes long and it was very nice.

I applied online and was then asked to come in for a panel interview. A few days later, I received the offer. The process was very straight forward and direct.

I got the job through someone I knew. When I applied, I had to send in a cover letter, resume, and a writing sample that I created based on a prompt I was given. After sending that in, I had an in-person interview with the head of the department I'd be working in for the semester, and then I got the offer.
