First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Clark University.
Resident Advisor
First, there was a group interview. After that, we had an individual one-on-one interview. The group interview involved situational and conversational prompts, while the individual interview was more traditional, focusing on questions about how I would apply my skills in the Resident Advisor role.
- How do you see yourself applying your skills in the Resident Advisor position?
- Can you tell me about your leadership abilities?
- How would you approach conflict resolution in this role?
Assistant Professor
I met them at the ASSA meetings. Three people from the university came over and we had a very brief chat about their university. Then they asked me about my research and how I would teach their PhD level course.
- Could you tell us about your job market paper?
- What is your approach to teaching the PhD level sequence course?
Career Services Coordinator
I got this job by emailing and mailing my application. A friend of mine had a connection that got my resume to the hiring manager, who was the director of the Graduate School of Management. I prepped by researching Clark and the GSOM office's offerings. I also prepared questions based on the job description. My friend mentioned they thought I was overqualified and that I'd need to prove I'd stay in the role for a while. I suspect I didn't get the job because I'm currently an intern career advisor, and the director might have thought I wouldn't be happy in an administrative role. The interview was tough, and the director had been a recruiter before.
- What pressures do you face in your current or past roles?
Research Assistant
The interview was conducted over Skype. They focused heavily on my research experience from grad school and undergrad. I had to explain analytical techniques I used and walk through the instruments I operated. The interview lasted about 40 minutes. The interviewer seemed really keen on basic communication skills as well as the scientific details, noting that it was important for them to hire someone who can communicate well.
- Can you tell me about a specific instance of using SEM?
- Could you describe some instruments you utilized in your research?
- What specific analytical techniques did you employ during your research?
