After applying, I got an email. Then, I had one zoom interview with two people from the department. It was about 30 minutes long and they asked some basic questions and then some questions specific to the department. It was pretty casual and comfortable!

The first round was super fast, they gave me a big list of questions to prepare for ahead of time and said they'd ask more specific questions later. I sped through the first set of answers, but then they didn't actually ask any personalized questions. Didn't get a second interview, which wasn't a surprise.

HR was uncooperative at first. I sent my resume directly to the hiring manager and got positive feedback. Following up is crucial! If you don't put in the effort, they won't contact you. I had a 3-person phone interview with basic questions. They were only interested in my previous university experience and seemed dismissive of my military background, even though the role specifically supported military students. I made a follow-up call, but the office wouldn't confirm or deny if I was selected for the next round. I ended up having to wait for a rejection letter.
