The first interview was a Zoom call that was two hours long. It included a formal and informal interview. I talked with about 14 staff members. Each person got to ask me one question. At the end, I could ask questions.

It was very smooth, they asked why I wanted to teach and looked over my papers. They were very nice. We went over some scenarios to see what I will do in certain situations. Got the job!

Just a simple zoom call interview. They're looking for people who are passionate about helping others and have strong communication skills. Make sure to answer with enthusiasm and be ready for questions about conflict scenarios.

The first interview I had was a 45 minute video chat group interview with my potential main supervisor and two other people. They had a list of 10-12 questions they asked sequentially, and then it was my turn to ask questions. The people seemed nice. The main issue, and why I can't rate this highly, is the salary. All the job postings online (Indeed, governmentsjobs.com, etc.) listed a salary range I was happy with. But when they called me back for a second interview, which I declined, they told me the actual salary range was about $20,000 less than advertised. The new maximum was barely above the old minimum. While CSUSB seems like a decent place to work, I'd strongly advise confirming the actual salary range during the interview process.
