First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Hunter College.
Student Honors Program
So, they asked me some questions about what I'm interested in and how that connects to my schoolwork. I also got asked about how I handle tough projects and tight deadlines. On top of that, they wanted to know about what I do when I'm not studying.
- What are your interests and how do they translate to your academics?
- Describe how you deal with difficult projects.
- How do you manage tasks with fast deadlines?
College Assistant
The interview process was easy and consisted of behavioral questions with the Dean and the team in the office. It was amazing! Practice is key. It's fairly simple, but practice and showing teamwork will guarantee you the job.
- How do you contribute in a team setting?
- Could you share your top 3 strengths?
- And what about your top 3 weaknesses?
Associate Director of Admissions and Recruitment
I went through two interviews for this role. The first one was with a group of five staff members, and the second one was with the Director of Admissions and an Assistant Dean. I thought the interviews went well and the Director seemed to think so too, as they were encouraging. However, after that, I never heard back from them. I tried emailing and calling, but nothing. They even reposted the job online. It really didn't leave a good impression.
- Can you describe instances where you've used data to inform recruitment strategies?
Doctoral Lecturer
I was invited for an on-campus interview. I met with faculty members before giving a teaching demonstration. Overall, the process was smooth. However, the reimbursement process for my move took about 3 months, which was quite annoying. The reimbursement for my actual move took almost 7 months. The people were good, but the administrative side is really difficult and discouraging for anyone who isn't financially secure.
- Regarding the diverse student body at Hunter, how would you employ inclusive teaching methods to engage them?
