The interview went really well, but I was informed that another candidate turned down the offer because they wanted a salary outside the specified range, whereas I was looking for something within it. I was told that HR would contact me the following week to discuss the background and reference check. After not hearing anything for three weeks, I followed up. They then stated they were still in the process of filling the position.

So I went to this Graduate Recruitment Weekend thing, and I had interviews with 5 different supervisors. The questions were pretty standard, but each supervisor also had questions specific to their department. It was mostly stuff like, 'tell us about yourself,' and 'why are you choosing to come to MSU and work as a graduate assistant?' The cool thing about this process is that you rank the assistantships you're interested in, and then the supervisors get together and rank you too. They try to match you with the supervisor who wanted you the most, based on the assistantship you want the most. I picked the Admissions office, and they picked me. I got an offer about 2 weeks after the weekend.

I started at the Missouri State Bookstore in a temporary role, mainly for short-term text reservation assistance. The process was pretty standard, focusing on typical strength and weakness questions. The interview itself happened in a conference room at the Bookstore. After getting the offer via a phone call, there was a training orientation before I officially started. Following the text reservation period, I was moved into a part-time role because they saw I could work hard.

The interview process was really structured. When I applied, they had a lot of requirements to verify right at the start, like needing my transcript. Then, I had a phone interview, and after that, a group interview with about 5 or 6 people from the search committee. They had all the questions typed out beforehand to make sure everyone got the same ones. It took a while, but it was all part of how they do things.
