Candidate-reported interview process

The process was pretty standard. You meet with someone from HR for a preliminary interview, then interview with a few people in the Admissions department. The position isn't quite what they describe online. Once I went through the interview process and spoke to various people that worked there it sounded more and more like just a sales representative.

The interview process kicked off with a phone call, followed by a Skype chat. After that, there was a test on Microsoft Word and Excel, which gave me an hour to complete about three tasks. Unfortunately, I messed up one of the tasks by leaving a header from a previous one, and they let me know I didn't get the job the very next day.

I spoke with an HR recruiter first and we reviewed my resume. I had to talk about each job I'd had and why I left them. After that, I interviewed with the financial aid managers for about 20 minutes. It was pretty casual.
