The interview process was quick, easy, and to the point. I had to meet with the director and the lead faculty for the clinical course. It was a really nice experience overall! I like teaching here and plan to continue my career path here.

I had two interviews. The first was with the director, and the second was with others in the department. I was interviewed alongside another candidate. Three days after the interview, I was contacted and informed I was hired. They asked for my preferred start date. On my start date, I was to go to HR to complete paperwork before beginning my new role as Receptionist in the finance department.

Presentation Behavioral

The interview experience was pleasant and well-organized. It involved a teaching and research demonstration, along with informal interactions with the search committee. As I applied for a computer science role, they were very open to the concepts I presented. They provided ample opportunity to discuss my career aspirations and reasons for applying.

So basically, it was a typical admission process. I used the Common App and stuff. There wasn't a formal interview, but I did chat with someone informally at a pre-orientation event before I got accepted. I got accepted just a few days after that event. I had applied a couple of weeks before.
