Massachusetts College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences Interview Questions
& Process

I had a good learning experience as a TA. I assisted the professor in STEM classes because I wanted to pursue a masters in teaching. This helped give me exposure and allowed me to get a feel for what teaching is like.

The whole process from start to finish took about two weeks. I first applied online and not long after got an email to set up a phone interview with the direct supervisor for the role. The questions were pretty basic, mostly about what I knew about MCPHS, why I was interested in the job, and my past experiences. The very next day, I heard back via email and was invited for an in-person interview scheduled for a week later. When I went in, I met with three people from the office: the immediate supervisor, the head of the department, and another person who was involved with the office but not directly with the role. They mainly asked about my motivation for wanting to work at MCPHS and my interest in the field. Everyone was super friendly, and I got a call that same afternoon with a job offer.

The process was altogether painless and quite easy. I waited for some time before getting a call from the department I now work in and did an initial phone screening. Then, I interviewed with the assistant chair of the department and had a wonderful time talking to him. 30 minutes after I got home, I had a job offer in my email inbox.

I dealt with a recruiter for a few weeks. Then I had a phone interview and two in-person interviews. It was a really long process and in the end HR and the department weren't aligned because of miscommunication, which felt like a big waste of time.
