It took about 4 months from when I applied until I officially started. This included: submitting the application, a phone screen, an in-person interview, an offer, background check and onboarding, and then my first day. Hiring in higher ed can be slow because it depends on when the role is needed, budget, and internal approvals. So, even if you're a great candidate, you might wait a while between steps. If you're looking for jobs in higher education, don't get discouraged by the slow process.

Met with the Department's lead in a casual, welcoming conversation. He wanted to know specific examples from my experience in the field that would translate into course objectives. We discussed what my strengths and weaknesses are in order to discern which classes I might teach as a beginning instructor. I found him realistic with respect to any instructor's learning curve in a new institution. We also had an encouraging discussion about academic freedom. According to the interview, NSC does not require its faculty to adhere to a formula as long as course objectives are being met. I found this particularly refreshing with respect to textbooks, I am used to being told which texts I must use. NSC interviews potential personnel all the time in order to keep up with their demands. Therefore, a job offer does not mean immediate work, but that you're put in to the next round of assignments.

Behavioral Presentation
It took about 2 months to get a response after applying. There were 2 interviews in total. The first one was with the program director. The second interview was split into several 30-minute sessions with different community members. I heard back from them about 2 weeks after the second interview. They were good about responding to my follow-up emails. They kept the job open for me for 2 months so I could sort out leaving my old job and moving. It was a really nice experience overall.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Writing samples were requested. Questions regarding various scenarios while interacting with the community and how to deal with them. Nothing too strenuous.

Behavioral Presentation
I was flown out to Las Vegas and got to pick my hotel. I talked with the acting department chair. It was a friendly chat, and they told me the basics about the department. In hindsight, I should've asked more about the specific day-to-day stuff. Turns out, after I took the job, most of my classes were at night.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Can you share your experience helping students with registration and meeting their academic requirements?
