First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at DePauw.
Assistant Professor
The interview process involved a campus visit with a dinner and several personality-based questions. The flyout interview concluded with candidates delivering a 30-minute presentation on their thesis. The overall atmosphere of the town was positive. My advice is to emphasize your passion for teaching over research.
- In what ways will you promote diversity and inclusion within the classroom?
Coach
I had one 30 minute phone interview, and then a half day in-person interview. The half day was meeting with several panels of people from around campus, and they asked pretty much the same questions.
- Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
- What makes you want to work here?
Lab Supervisor
I was called in for an all-day onsite interview that lasted from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. I met with several different people for one-on-one discussions. The conversation was mostly about my previous experience and my education. They showed me around the entire workplace and all the labs, and explained what was expected of me. There weren't any specific questions beyond getting to know each other.
- Tell me about your experiences.
- What did you do previously?
Resident Assistant
The interview process was informal. Since I was abroad at the time, they changed it to fit my situation. It was pretty straightforward and not too stressful. I really liked it, and the two supervisors who interviewed me were nice!
- How do you handle being in large groups?
- Tell me about your experience related to this job.
