First, there was a 60-minute screening with a committee where they asked both technical and behavioral questions about Microsoft tools and ticketing systems. The next step is an in-person interview that happens almost a month later, to see how well I fit into the university environment.

The interview was a virtual meeting with some questions around 2019. I only had one interview and the questions were definitely geared towards IT, so preparing with that in mind is important. Possibly changed now that Covid restrictions have loosened.

The interview was brief and mostly concentrated on customer service abilities. The questions were simple to answer if you had a positive outlook. I received an initial call for a longer discussion, followed by an in-person meeting for another shorter interview. The inquiries were quite general, suitable for any customer service or retail position.
