The conversation was pretty standard, with some back and forth. It all felt pretty easy and chill, like a normal chat. I got to show off my past work, which was good for showing what I've done. The talk flowed well, and I felt good about sharing details on my old projects and wins.

I initially applied for a different role at SU, but I was told I didn't get it. However, the recruiter mentioned that based on my resume, I should apply for the Sr. Operations Assistant position and gave me a link. I did that, and a few days later, I got an invitation for a phone interview. About a week after that, I was informed that I didn't get the job.

Behavioral Technical
About a month and a half after I applied, the hiring manager emailed to see if I was still interested. A week later, she set up a 30-minute phone interview. It felt like she had a list of questions she asked everyone. A few days later, I had a second round of interviews that lasted about 1.5 hours. First, the hiring manager and another manager interviewed me for an hour, asking a mix of situational and direct questions. Then, I met with a VP from another department I'd be working with. Two days after that, they checked my references. About 4 days later, I got an offer with no room for negotiation, but it did require a background check.

Behavioral Technical Group Presentation
I applied for a role with University Advancement. The interview process started with a 30-minute phone interview with the hiring team. About two weeks later, I had in-person interviews that lasted for 2 hours. First, there was an hour-long panel interview with about 8-10 people, followed by individual interviews with team members. After the in-person interviews, they checked my references. The entire process took about a month. I wish there was more clarity about the references and my status in the process. Using my current employer as a reference put me in a tough spot when I found out there was still another person in the running. If I had known, I would have used different references. The reference requirements were also quite strict and challenging for me as a recent immigrant.
