First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Duquesne University.
Intern
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!
- Can you explain the importance of working with alumni?
Assistant Professor
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.
- Could you elaborate on your teaching experiences and philosophy?
- What are your research experiences and philosophy?
- Can you speak to your commitment to the values of this institution?
Program Director
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.
- What motivates you to want to work for this company?
- Can you discuss your previous experience working at a university?
- Could you elaborate on your military experience?
Administrative Assistant
It was a really warm interview, everyone was so kind. The atmosphere was professional and it felt like a rewarding experience. It seems like a great place for opportunities and professional growth. They have a welcoming atmosphere and were eager to answer my questions. They were really interested in getting to know me as a person and a professional.
- Can you tell me about your strengths?
- What about your weaknesses?
