It was a zoom interview with one faculty member and one student. They asked me about my first-generation experience and my advocacy experience. I was also asked what the academic advising department could improve. After the interview, we all came together as a group to talk about the answers to those questions and advocate for who we thought should be accepted, rejected, or held.

I had a brief and pleasant interview with the coordinator at Rose Art Museum for an art exhibit performer position. My main frustration was the communication about the outcome; they mentioned I'd hear back the following Wednesday, but I didn't get my rejection notification until the day before or the day of the shows. It would be great if companies showed more consideration for interviewees by informing them of rejections sooner, similar to how quickly they notify those they accept.
