Norwich University Interview Questions
& Process

after the initial screening call, I met with the team. Some of the interviews were done on Zoom and others were in person. They also gave me a tour of campus and pointed out some of the improvements made over the last ten years.

Everything was done via video calls due to covid. I had an initial interview with the hiring committee, then a group interview with several faculty. After that, there was a second interview with the hiring committee, and then a group interview with people who would be reporting to me. Finally, I interviewed with the hiring manager/department head. They also asked for writing samples. This whole process took about 3 weeks. Then there was a 2-week gap where they checked my references. Unfortunately, they couldn't move forward with hiring because of some planned events on campus. By that time, I had to withdraw my application since I had other job offers.

I got a call from HR right after submitting my resume. Even though I didn't have admissions experience, I was a Norwich Alumni, and they hire a lot of alumni for Admissions, but they do hire other applicants too. First, I had a really easy phone interview with HR. Then, they sent me some questions via email about my comfort with traveling, giving presentations, and a few other things. I wrote detailed answers and was really professional because I know someone who didn't take it seriously and didn't even get an interview. A few days later, I went for an in-person interview, which had three parts. I first met with the Director of Admissions, who explained the job. She asked some easy questions. Then I met the VP, which was a bit intimidating for the first time. She was really nice, explained the school's philosophy, and the business side since I was a student, not an employee. She asked a few simple, relaxed questions about my experiences as an undergrad. The last part was the most stressful: a short presentation on any topic. I didn't prepare well because it was hot and I only had two days, so I think I did poorly, but they still hired me, probably because they knew I was just nervous. That was it, and I heard back a day or two later. It wasn't a difficult interview or hiring process at all. I really like the HR department at Norwich; they're very approachable and you can call them. It's nice because now I'm applying for other jobs and finding HR departments that are hard to reach, which I dislike. At Norwich, they give you hiring and department manager names for cover letters and are happy to answer questions. This was my experience.

I found out about this opening on the Norwich University careers page and applied. You'll need to have your previous schools send official transcripts to Norwich to confirm you have the required education.
