Behavioral
I was hired part-time initially, then transitioned to full-time. Before my part-time role, I was a student. It was evident they needed someone to fill a position during an organizational shift. However, they didn't acknowledge my education from the same institution and offered limited opportunities for advancement, salary increases, or contract extensions.

Behavioral Presentation
I met with the Director and Vice President for the area. They asked me questions that were specific to the role, and also asked about my interest in Mercyhurst over any other school. It felt like they were more focused on my personality than any specific skills or traits. The overall vibe was very friendly, and they did a good job of explaining the position and what they were looking for in a candidate.
