Behavioral Presentation

The interview process involved three one-hour meetings with faculty members, followed by a panel of administrators, and finally an interview with the president. There was no teaching demonstration. The process itself wasn't too bad, though it was inconveniently spread across three separate sessions. It did take a considerable amount of time to receive the job offer, and then another extended period to find out the exact salary.

First, I had a phone screen, then pretty quickly after, I went in for an in-person panel interview. The panel had a mix of people I'd be working with, my bosses, and others relevant to the department. They called me back the same day with a conditional job offer. A drug test and background check happened a couple days later, but I didn't actually start until the semester kicked off.

I got an email with a few time slots to pick from and a prompt for a teaching demo. I got the last time slot I chose. The interview was in person and included a teaching demo, followed by a Zoom interview with the admin team.
