So, first there was a phone interview with my potential direct boss, and then I had an in-person interview with the director of the department. It was all pretty friendly, but I got the feeling they weren't totally sure what they were looking for. The job is strictly in-person, no work-from-home options.

It was a two-step interview process. The first one was a phone call, and the second one was over Zoom. I talked to 3 people from the Student Affairs department and one person from external administrative staff at the institution. Both interviews were longer than 30 minutes.

The interviewers were really kind and made me feel heard and comfortable. They had warm vibes and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. The only slight drawback was that they did most of the talking and could have let me speak more. But overall, it was a pleasant experience and I'm thankful for the opportunity.

They were nice and told me of their expectations. We talked about my aspirations and goals, and then discussed the business at hand. I felt very relaxed throughout the entire process.
