First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Berklee.
Student Services
Zoom Call, people are friendly and want to know more about you and your music. The environment feels good, and they talk about their favorite musicians, and I talk about myself and my experience working with students.
- Could you tell me about your experience working with students?
Director, Enrollment Services
I went through a total of 9 interviews with different people, including some from departments not directly related to mine. Around the fifth or sixth interview, they gave me a homework assignment that involved an analysis and a presentation to check my actual skills.
- Can you describe your past work experience?
- What skills do you possess?
- What are your career expectations?
Faculty
I had a 30 minute Zoom interview with two hiring committee members. For the first 10 minutes, they asked me some questions, and then I led the conversation for the remainder of the interview. They mentioned I'd get an update the following week. After a week passed, I followed up with the administrative assistant who set up the interview, but never heard back. About 6 weeks later, I received an automated email stating that I was not moving forward.
- How would you manage classroom conflicts?
Telecommunications Analyst
The hiring manager reached out after reviewing my resume. I went in for an interview with her, and then I also met with her manager. We discussed my background and what I could contribute to the role. They were especially interested in a specific part of my experience that would be useful for a project they have coming up, and we went into detail about that. In the end, they decided to promote someone from within the company.
- Were there any challenging questions during the interview?
