Behavioral
I interviewed at The Mexican Studies Institute at CUNY located at Lehman college campus. I met with an Assist. Dir. and an Admin Coordinator. An intern was also present. They asked a couple of standard interview questions but the AD did most of the talking. I felt the conversation went well. At the end, I was asked to think about the chat and send a message the next day indicating if I wanted to move forward to a second interview with the Institute Director. I found this a bit odd, as it's usually the other way around. Nevertheless, I did reach out the next day and followed up about five days later, but never received a reply.

Behavioral Presentation
This is a civil servant role. I took an exam in Dec 2015. HR emailed me in July 2016 about vacancies at a specific cuny school and asked for my resume. I sent my resume and had an interview in early August. The interview was with HR and the department chairperson (though she was on a conference call). HR asked basic interview questions. The chairperson talked about the job details and asked if my past experience was a good fit. They said they'd reply in 2 weeks. When I got home, I got an email with a Job Offer.
