Presentation Behavioral

The interview process was quite lengthy, involving meetings with six different individuals and the delivery of two presentations. Ultimately, an offer was not extended, reportedly because the university aimed to significantly undervalue the candidate's compensation, as learned from an insider. This outcome might have been for the best.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • After the President and Provost presented the college's selling points, they asked for your thoughts on integrating into the institution.

It started with a phone interview, about 30 minutes long. They asked me about my leadership style, my programming experience, and student conduct theory. Then, I was invited to campus for a full day of interviews. This included meeting with the President, both Vice Presidents for Student Life, the Director of Residence Life, a panel of five other RDs, and some individual meetings with RDs. I also had lunch with a group of student RAs. It was a very long day.

They asked a bunch of questions about what I can bring to Residence life and my strengths and weaknesses. Team dynamics are super important to them, so they really want to see someone who's adaptable and passionate about their mission. They're looking for someone who is well-rounded and cares about community.
