First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Davidson College.
Building Maintenance
I was shown the campus but no one called me for an interview. This might have been the interview. She would not discuss the pay rate or said I will have to discuss the pay rate when they call me from the office.
No confirmed questions were included in this interview report.
Professor
There were 2 parts to the interview process: one via Zoom and the other on campus. It was a good experience, not too many people involved, and the students are working hard. There are not many research opportunities, but it does give you the chance to do research.
- Can you tell me about your academic background?
- What is your intended start date?
Technician
It was pretty easy. I just went in and had to talk a bit about myself, mention how I found out about the job, and explain my tech background. They also wanted a few personal details. Basically, they were just seeing if I could interact with people who came in and if I could work well with others.
- Tell me about yourself and your background.
- How did you come to know about this position?
- Could you elaborate on your technical experience?
Assistant Director
I had a phone interview for a job I was really excited about. It was the most formal phone interview I've ever had, and the most formal interview I've had in an educational institution in general. The interviewer was late, then rushed me off the phone because she had another call right after. It really bugs me when people think their time is more valuable than mine. I thought I did well, and the interviewer said they'd let me know about in-person interviews the following Monday. That was about a month and a half ago. I sent a thank-you note right after, then followed up the next week because I never heard back as promised. Still no word. I check my status online often and it still says "in progress." Very disappointing. But I got a great job in the meantime and maybe I dodged a bullet!
