First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at NSHE (Nevada System of Higher Education).
Assistant to Vice Chancellor
Had a Teams meeting with 6 people from the search committee. One of them was the person who used to do this job, and there was also HR. They stuck to a 10-question script. It was supposed to be an hour but only took about 30 minutes.
- What has made your communication successful, and how have you communicated with various types of executives?
- How many calendars have you managed simultaneously?
- Can you describe your experience with budget/finance and any software you've used in that capacity?
Director
The process involves an interview with a screening committee, followed by an interview with a hiring committee. They use set, HR-approved questions about job duties and skills. Your cover letter, resume, and interview answers are scored numerically against the required skills and duties.
- What is your motivation for wanting to join this team?
Systems Analyst
The whole hiring process took about 3 months from applying to getting the offer. The experience really depends on the specific campus or unit you're applying to. For me, it started with a 30-minute phone chat, then a half-day on-site where I met with different people like teammates and managers. After that, there was a lot of waiting around because of how things work.
- Can you describe a situation where you had to work with someone difficult on your team and explain how you managed it?
- I was asked a range of detailed technical questions, some relevant to the role and some not, to see my knowledge and how I'd approach questions I didn't know the answer to.
Network Analyst
I had an in-person interview with two network engineers and someone from HR. The vibe was pretty casual and friendly. They asked general questions and a few technical ones.
- What's your plan for handling a DDOS attack?
- What would your former manager identify as your biggest strength and weakness?
