So first, there was a phone interview, and then I had an on-campus panel interview. This on-campus part was pretty involved, with panels from different offices, the student affairs division, and also students and alumni. It felt like a couple of rounds, and it finished up with an HR meeting where they made the offer.

Before this, I applied using my resume, cover letter, and references. Then, I had an interview with the previous tutor coordinator and the Deans. They were really friendly and approachable, making it a very comfortable experience.

I hate and don't see the point of being put before an interviewing panel of 4+ people on only the FIRST interview. Most of the people seemed nice and easy to interview with, but one of them kept rolling her eyes as though she didn't want to listen to what I was saying, which is annoying, rude, and distracting. It derailed my confidence in my answer. Another factor of my irritation was the abysmal salary that was quoted to me. For a school that makes millions annually in tuition alone, it doesn't make sense.

The interview process was really nice and welcoming. The staff spoke really well of the university's mission and explained the role clearly, which was different from most other interviews. I appreciated their honesty and I have a clear understanding of what would be expected as a team member.
