Presentation Behavioral

I started by submitting a brief online application. During the application, I indicated the subjects I felt most confident tutoring. You're welcome to list subjects outside your major, so a biology major who also speaks Spanish could tutor both subjects. After that, I asked a couple of professors for recommendations relevant to the subjects I wanted to teach. For writing tutor roles, a short writing sample showcasing your skills is needed. An interview was then scheduled by phone, after which I received a job offer. The pay rate for LAC tutors was also discussed.

Behavioral Presentation

After applying, it took several months to hear back about an interview. Then things moved faster. I had a phone interview with the search committee, and then got invited for a campus interview about two weeks later. That day had a bunch of 1:1 meetings, lunch and dinner with faculty, and I gave a research presentation. Got an offer about 3 weeks after that. They did call all 5 of my references. The whole interview process was super thorough but pretty simple.

Had a phone interview with two people, then an in-person interview that was about 6 hours long. The work culture discussed in the interview is nothing like it is on the job. I feel like this is very important to note. Getting sucked in by the dogma of 'family' will ruin your work/life balance.
