Behavioral Presentation
It was mostly situational questions. Two faculty members asked me how I would handle specific scenarios that might come up in a tutoring setting. This all happened over Zoom and lasted about 30-45 minutes. The situational questions were pretty detailed, so I'd suggest taking notes to make sure you cover everything they ask.

Behavioral Presentation
There were about three to four interviews in total. The first one was more like a screening of your interest, with someone from the hiring committee. Then, the interviews seemed to get progressively larger in terms of the number of people involved. You should be ready to give a presentation and also prepare some handouts.

Got a call for a video interview right away, which was set for the next week. After that, there was silence for 4 weeks. I thought I hadn't made it to the next stage, so I was really surprised a month later to get a call about setting up an in-person interview on campus. After that call, no word for two weeks. Then, they called to offer me a time slot for the interview. Since I was from out of state and flying in, it was fortunate that the offered time worked. I went for the on-campus interview and never heard back. Honestly, I was already put off by their poor communication and wasn't even upset about not getting the job, but found it pretty rude and unprofessional to not send a rejection email after an in-person interview. The people I interviewed with were generally unfriendly, and it wasn't a good experience.
