The interview process was pretty easy. It seemed like they were trying to get a sense of if you are reliable or not. It was a lot of seeing how my values align with the department.

So I was told I was one of the final candidates for a position with the Office of Residential Life. I was invited to campus for a final interview. They gave me two different locations in Manhattan to go to, with hardly any time in between them. I had to pay for my own MetroCard, which seemed really tacky. After meeting with people all day, they said I'd hear back 'shortly.' I emailed them a week later and again two weeks later asking if the position was filled, but got no response. They had me running around Manhattan and didn't even send a rejection email. It was so rude and unprofessional.

I applied and got a call really quickly. The interviews were in two parts with the Department and HR in New York. The staff was really nice and helpful, very encouraging. They were looking for someone with Excel skills and who could work in a nice way with students.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

So, the first step was a chat with the HR director. After that, I had another meeting with my potential direct manager. Then, there was a final interview with a secondary manager, who was the Director of IT, and also the Assistant Director of IT. Each conversation got a bit more in-depth. Because the job mixes content and IT stuff, they asked about my experience in both. I also got to hear about this project management transition they were going through, moving from using outside contractors to hiring people full-time, and how I'd fit into that.
