Behavioral Technical

It was a structured interview with a timer. The interviewer wasn't friendly and started right away with a behavioral question. I thought she'd ask 'tell me about yourself' first. The whole thing felt very impersonal and rushed, like I was just another number.

Behavioral Technical

First, you'll chat with your direct supervisor, and then you'll meet with the department chair. They'll ask you typical interview questions about your skills, education, background, and what you're looking for. They'll also give you basic info about the position and job details. It's a good idea to ask about the department's mission and any current science or studies they're involved in. They move pretty quickly from interviews to decisions to offers.

Behavioral Other

MUSC calls their interviews "Behavioral Interviews," but it's really just the same questions asked over and over. There's no creativity, and the interviewers have to stick to the script. I could tell they wanted to ask different questions sometimes, but they couldn't.

  • Tell me about a time you had to work with a difficult person.
  • Can you share an instance where you went the extra mile at work and received recognition from your boss?
