The interview process involved a phone screening with the search committee for the first round. Round two was a meeting with the search committee, colleagues, a stakeholder, and the hiring official. They also included a role-play exercise because the position is student-facing advising, followed by a quick Q&A.

Behavioral Presentation
So, the process started with a formal phone interview that was conducted by a committee. After that, there was a two-week waiting period. Then, they emailed me to confirm if the salary was sufficient before I went for an all-day onsite visit which included a presentation. This whole thing took about a month. In the end, they called and told me they were actually pulling the position because they needed to change the job requirements.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
It was a typical academic interview with several people involved in the hiring process. There was a long wait to hear back after the interview. I did not get the job. George Mason University is a good school, I would not mind working there in the future if the right position opens up.
