The interview process was casual and started with introductions and a quick overview of the college. We had a relaxed conversation where we talked about my background, skills, and interests. It was informal, so I felt comfortable asking questions about the job and the college's culture.

The interview process was absolutely horrendous and felt like a joke. Both of my Skype interviews got rescheduled last minute, literally minutes before they were supposed to happen. Each interview also barely lasted 15 minutes, making the whole process seem really unprofessional. I took time off work for these interviews, but then they had to reschedule.
