It started with a phone screen and then I had a panel interview with the manager and some of the team. The interview felt rushed, and the hiring manager seemed unhappy with her role. The team wasn't very welcoming, making it difficult to get a feel for the work environment. It gave off a vibe of prioritizing profits over people. I definitely wouldn't want to work there. A surprising point was that they mentioned they were working in the office only after 25 minutes into the interview, which I thought should have been in the job description, and given COVID concerns, that was a bit worrying.

So I applied and got an on-campus interview. It was with a panel of four people. The interview was basically just a list of "canned" questions, like situational and behavioral ones, which I felt didn't really let them get to know me as a candidate. They asked the questions really fast, one after another, without any follow-up. It felt like they just wanted to get through their list of prepared questions instead of actually learning about me. I thought I answered them well, but I still have no idea if they thought I'd be a good fit for the university or the office vibe. I think it would have been better if it was more of a conversation so we could both learn more about each other. Plus, they didn't even ask me anything about my resume or cover letter.

I got contacted by them months after I applied. The interview had 5 people working in the position. After about 1.5 hours of asking questions, I went to a luncheon with 2 students. The students also wrote reviews that were part of the decision. A week later, I got a phone call offering me the job. I accepted and submitted paperwork for a background check, which took about a month. I was officially hired when the school year began in September.

So I had this interview with a panel of 4 people from the ISSS. They hit me with some pretty open-ended questions about my experience and some hypothetical scenarios. The whole thing went for about 45 minutes. I got to ask them some questions at the end too. Didn't get past the first round, but they did stay in touch after.
