I had a video call with a college recruiter for my first interview. She said I'd be moving on to a second interview after it. The second interview was also a video call, but this time with a supervisor. It took about 1-2 months to get the offer, and I had 3 days to accept it.

Applied online via the school job board. A recruiter reached out by email to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview went well; they asked about technology and teamwork. The recruiter then emailed again to set up an in-person interview. I was interviewed by several different employees in the department at various times. They asked about my resume and my five-year career goals.
