First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Claremont Graduate University.
Financial Aid Advisor
It was a panel interview that lasted 30 minutes. They asked basic questions and also asked how your values align with the university's values, and what steps you would take to include equity in your work.
- Why are you a good fit for this role?
- How do your personal values align with the university's values?
- What measures would you implement to ensure equity in your responsibilities?
Graduate Student Assistant
The interview was one round with the team. It was mostly behavioral questions, and we also went through my resume. Make sure you have your resume and updated cover letter ready to go over in detail all your skills, experiences, and talk through scenarios.
- How do you manage competing priorities at work?
Recruiter
I had an initial 30 minute interview where I discussed the position with a panel. It felt comfortable and pretty informal. Then, the second interview involved a presentation and a series of questions from different schools within CGU. Throughout, staff and faculty asked questions, but they were what you'd expect for an Admissions interview.
- Tell me about financial aid.
HR Coordinator
I applied online and then got an email about an interview. The interview was on Zoom and lasted about 15 minutes. They mostly asked me about my experience and strengths. I also got to ask them questions about the job. It seemed to go well, and I'd be open to interviewing again.
- What is your greatest strength?
