Indiana University Health Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was straightforward. It started with intros and talking about my background. Then, there were behavioral questions to see if I fit the company values, had good communication, and was a cultural fit.

After applying online, I was contacted about a month and a half later. The first step was an interview via Microsoft Teams with a team lead. They talked about the job and what the role involves, plus details on scheduling and the on-call system. This initial chat is mainly to see if you're still interested in the position. If you are, the next step is an in-person interview that includes a job shadow. The in-person part, with the team lead and another senior lab assistant, was pretty relaxed and lasted about 30-45 minutes, where they asked some basic questions for the job. The job shadow was about an hour long. I got to follow a senior lab assistant, ask questions, and get a feel for the workplace. It was a good experience, and I'd suggest using the shadow time to ask lots of questions and observe everything. After the shadow, they walked me out.

It was a really fast interview process. I first talked to the recruiter, and then I met with some other people on the HR team. They were all super nice and totally open about everything, answering all my questions straight up. It felt pretty standard, asking stuff about how I'd handle different scenarios, like most interviews.

I applied online and got an email the next day from a recruiter with four questions to answer before a possible interview. The following week, the hiring manager contacted me for a virtual interview with herself and a team member, asking basic questions. They were responsive and I was told I'd know by the end of the day about another interview with the full team, as I was the last interviewee. The second interview was also virtual, meeting the team in a round-robin style. It felt like a conversation about team dynamics and my past experiences. I was told I'd get an email from the hiring manager about next steps, but wasn't sure if that was it or if another interview was scheduled. The next week, I learned I was a finalist for a third interview that might lead to an offer. This round included a writing test using a provided Word document, where I had to write a 300-word article based on facts. It also involved proofreading an article and tracking changes, with a three-day deadline. I was unsure what to expect for the final interview. It was virtual with the hiring manager and a previous team member. They split questions: one person asked technical questions about processes, how I'd start, and tools for a project; the other asked broader questions about working with others and my thought process. I was told I'd be informed of their decision by the end of the week. All interviews were virtual for this remote position. Communication was via email, no phone calls. The employer was very responsive and easy to talk to, making it feel less like a judgmental interview.
