It was a great and wonderful experience, and I would recommend anyone to apply and work there for as long as they need. It's a great environment and helpful for earning money. The people are also good and very friendly to everyone who worked there. They are very flexible with their hours and sick days.

Applied online and got a reply about two weeks later. Then setup a Zoom interview. The interview was mostly a brief training and flying history. Then, there was a section with scenario based questions regarding flight instructing. After the interview, HR took a few weeks before being prepared to offer a job. As I understand it, the flight school portion of the university shutdown during COVID-19 and then restarted it for the 2021-2022 school year, but with changes.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I applied for a director role at CWU. First there was a screening call, then I had a Skype interview with the hiring manager. That went well, so then I had a team Skype call with peers from my department and other departments. I was one of the final 3 candidates selected. Then, they flew me to Washington for a full day of interviews. This included a campus tour of areas I would be responsible for, meeting my direct reports, and a day-long testing scenario and presentation. After that, I got an offer and tried to negotiate salary. The hiring manager said he couldn't increase the salary, which was already at the low end of the range. So I declined the offer.

I had a call to set up a Zoom interview. They weren't flexible with scheduling, only offered one day. The interview wasn't difficult. They asked canned questions. The interviewers barely looked at me or responded to my answers. When I asked my own questions, they didn't have much to say. It just gave a blah vibe and I didn't feel excited about the job afterward. I probably would've rejected a second interview or the job offer.
