Behavioral Technical

I applied for jobs like this one and was initially told the position was taken. But then the hiring manager set up another interview with some people on the main communications team. Everything was online via Zoom. They mostly asked about my communications background and specific experience, and really emphasized needing someone skilled in lots of areas like social media, web writing, speech writing, and web editing. That went well, so I met the dean of the school in person next. The dean's interview was mainly about what the school is trying to do and if she thought I'd be a good fit for her.

Behavioral Group

It took 4 months to get an interview call. There were 2 rounds: first with the hiring manager, then a panel interview with the whole team. I followed up 3 times but kept being told they were waiting on HR and didn't know when I'd hear back. While I was still looking on LinkedIn, the department reposted the job without telling previous applicants they weren't selected or even updating the job portal status. It was pretty disrespectful.

Group Behavioral

It was a group interview where we had to do different activities and solve problems together as a team. The staff and exec members were watching and taking notes the whole time. The goal was to see how well we could build teams, collaborate, communicate, and lead.

Behavioral Technical

I had 7 interviews across 4 days over a month. They told me in the first interview they were 6 months behind on hiring and it was urgent, but the process felt the opposite. They said HR would reach out either way since I was a finalist, but I was ghosted even after following up. The interviews were mostly redundant, asking the same questions, which shows a lack of a streamlined process and consideration for wasting candidates' time when they could have just shared notes.
