The interview process was well-organized and thoughtful, with ample preparation time provided. I also had the chance to meet several staff members from both within and outside my potential department. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm grateful.

I submitted my resume in September. Then I had a phone screening in October, followed by a panel interview with the team in November. It was a very straight-forward process. Each person on the panel asked questions directly related to my past experiences. Everyone was really friendly.

I had 2 interviews, both remote. The first was with 2 people who asked typical interview questions. They then offered to schedule a follow-up with another manager. This second interview was one-on-one and covered the same topics, but the interviewer clarified questions and gave more info about the job. I was told I'd get a call with an offer or rejection, but haven't heard back in over a month, which is disappointing.

Behavioral Presentation
I applied online and then had a meeting with my supervisor and then a follow-up with the head of the department. It was very formal, so you should be prepared as though interviewing for an institution with a high regard for classic professionalism and dress. Everyone is very buttoned-up and a highly educated go-getter, so be ready to impress each and every person, including custodial, security, or volunteers. Generally very standard.
