Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at George Washington University.

Research Assistant
GWU tends to hire their own students. Usually, students can be interviewed as soon as a job opens, or the opening might be tailored specifically for them. Many openings are project-based. When a Principal Investigator (PI) secures project funding, they need someone to lead those projects. Since most PIs are very busy, a candidate who meets their needs is a significant advantage.
