First, there was a 10-minute recruiter HR call where they asked about the job. After that, they set up a 45-minute Zoom call with the head of the department. Then, you interview with the team you'd be working with for another 45 minutes. If your references check out, they offer you the job in about 2 days.

Behavioral
The two people interviewing me were nice, but they asked way more questions than I've ever gotten before. Most of them were pretty easy, but after a while it started to feel like an interrogation, which made things super awkward. They asked more than twenty questions. It was definitely not a back-and-forth conversation.

I applied online and got a call about a week later to set up a formal interview. The interview itself was pretty easy and casual. Two supervisors gave an overview of the zoo and what the department does. Then, they asked some basic interview questions from a list. After they finished, they asked if I had any questions. Right at the end, they gave me a conditional job offer. They let me know the job was seasonal and that moving to regular part-time depended on things they couldn't control. It was a nice and simple interview overall.

I had one phone call interview, as I was in another state at the time. Three managers from the department I was applying to interviewed me. Each one asked some questions from a list they had prepared. After I answered each question, there was a pause while they wrote down my responses.
