I had a 30 minute phone interview, then a 45 min in person interview with the supervisor and another staff member. The final round interview was between myself, my supervisor and faculty whom I would be directly supporting, it was about an hour long. After the offer was extended, there was a final interview with HR, which is standard at BU but catches you off guard since you've been offered the job by the people you'll be working with. The interview with HR asked me to describe my qualifications for the position, my salary requirements and gave me an opportunity to ask questions about benefits.

I sent in my application online and then I got an email to do a first interview over Zoom. About a week later, they asked me to come in for an in-person interview at the office. It was a pretty easy process, but I thought they could have given me a better explanation of the job and what would be expected of me.
