It started with a quick chat with HR, then I had two more interviews with my potential supervisor and the director. Everyone was really nice and professional. They asked me a mix of questions about my past work, where I see myself going in my career, and what I'm interested in developing professionally.

The interview process was pretty simple. I got an interview invitation within a week of applying. I had a virtual interview with the hiring manager, which lasted about an hour. They asked questions about possible situations and my experience. I was updated weekly throughout the process.

Had a phone interview with Wheelock College of Education. The interviewer was terrible, rude, and mumbled under her breath, especially when I didn't want to give a specific number for salary requirements. BU isn't as great as people think.
