The interview for this remote role was conducted over the phone. I received a calendar invite to choose a convenient date and time. On the interview day, I got a call at the scheduled time. A friend mentioned they interviewed twice, but I only completed the first pre-screening interview.

Technical Behavioral
It was a pretty standard process. A recruiter reached out for a quick phone screen, then I had a Zoom interview with the manager of the department. They obviously didn't think I was the right fit, which is fine, but it's been weeks and I still haven't heard back from anyone at the company, even after trying to contact several people about next steps. I'm really disappointed with the lack of communication, professionalism, and respect, and I wouldn't advise anyone to waste their time applying.

I applied for a part-time mentor position in the Human Services program, and it was for a PhD level. The person who made the hiring decision was really energetic and cheerful, and the HR person was fun to talk to as well. However, they took a while to get back to me with the results. After I followed up with HR a couple of times, I found out I didn't get the job. It didn't feel like the most respectful process, and I didn't feel like my time was really valued.
