First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Saint Mary's University (Texas).
Student Assistant
The interview process isnt too harsh depending your expertise and the departments want to see how you will be a good fit for them. If you lack some of the requirements, No worries, they will teach you and make sure you are there to learn.
- Can you tell me about your availability from Monday to Friday?
Tutor
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.
- Can you show me how you would tutor a student by role-playing?
- As a math tutor, could you work through a math problem with a student?
- As a writing tutor, would you review a short writing sample with a student?
Assistant Professor
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.
- Can you describe your teaching style in the classroom?
- Which courses do you feel best equipped to teach?
- What professional experience do you have that's relevant to this role?
Residence Hall Director
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.
- What are your long-term career aspirations?
