Behavioral Presentation
The whole process moves extremely slow. I've been ghosted after the interview, and the hiring manager just ignores my emails and doesn't even send a rejection email. It's a totally unprofessional way to conduct an interview. Considering this is for an internal communications position, you can expect how poorly they are doing their job.

Behavioral Technical
I had an initial phone screening with HR. She didn't have the answers to my job-specific questions, but she did speak positively about the college. She called me a day ahead of schedule and asked if I could do the screening then or the next day. I wasn't sure if this was a test to see if I was flexible. I was concerned that doing it on the spot might hurt my chances, but then I had a Zoom interview with two leaders from the Admissions department. The worst part was that even though I sent individual thank you notes and followed up with one of them, I never got any feedback on whether I got the job or not.

The HR person called 10 minutes after our scheduled time and still expected to talk for a full 30 minutes. The hiring manager then invited me for a second interview, but after I emailed my availability, they never responded. I was ghosted for about 2 months, and now I've been rejected.

I had 2 interviews, one was on Zoom and the other was in-person. The in-person interview included a student, the department, and campus partners. It was a really welcoming and nice process. Things moved pretty fast since it was right after the school year started.
