Behavioral Presentation Other

It was a chat about research interests, teaching approach, teaching beliefs, how to get research money, and previous writing. The PI looked over my past research and we talked about publications. It was a really open and good talk. I asked about the PI's way of advising. I also asked to chat with other grad students in the PI's lab. He was cool with it. This felt like a good sign.

I had a panel interview with some of the higher-up student workers at the office for the Student Service Center role. They really want to see your availability and if you give good, thorough answers. I also reached out to them after I applied and after the interviews, which helped. They always hire at least 8 people.

It was a really nice and friendly interview process. The questions were what I expected, and I had a good conversation with the interviewer, making me feel comfortable. I attended a scheduled interview day where there was a group interview, I learned about the program, and then had an individual interview.

Behavioral

It was a Zoom panel interview with three people. They gave us 30 minutes and mentioned that if there was extra time, I could ask my questions. The interview went okay, but the panelists seemed uninterested. I only got one question in before they ran out of time because the role wasn't clearly described, leaving me with many questions. It wasn't a bad interview, just very cold and they seemed disengaged.
