First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Case Western Reserve University.
Department Assistant
I applied for over a month and then got a call to set up a phone interview. After the phone interview, I went in for an in-person interview the next week, and then had a second in-person meeting the week after that. I met with almost everyone in the department twice. I took a lot of time out of my schedule to meet with the department twice, and also paid for parking twice. Everything seemed to go well, but I was never contacted with a rejection, even after following up two weeks after my second interview, which I thought was rude given all the time I invested.
- Tell me about basic and simple scenarios you've encountered and how you handled them.
Department Assistant
About a month after applying, I had a phone interview with two people from the department. Then, about two and a half months later, they called me back for an in-person interview. They said the job was on hold for a bit but they were ready to hire now. For the in-person, I met the same two people from the phone interview plus three more. They said they'd decide within a week, but I never heard back. I reached out to the hiring manager three weeks later about the status and got no reply. I don't think they ever filled the job. It's pretty discouraging when you put in a lot of effort preparing and taking time off work for interviews and don't even get a simple update.
- Could you walk us through your previous work experience?
- What are your reasons for seeking to leave your present employment?
Office Assistant
The interview process was very professional and they answered all my questions. They asked about several things and gave me the impression that I would be doing work that I'm not now doing, like social media, but overall it was a good experience. It turns out that not all of the people I worked with were present, so it was a surprise to come in the first day and find that there were quite a few more people in the office than I had anticipated.
- How are you a good fit for CWRU?
