Texas A&M University-Commerce Interview Questions
& Process

I went through a virtual interview first and then was invited for an in-person interview. The overall interview was very positive. They were very welcoming from the beginning to end. The interviewer was very responsive throughout the process.

I was contacted about my application and had a phone interview where the main supervisor asked me about my past jobs and my expectations for working there, ensuring it was a good fit for both me and the job. Then, I had one interview with the three supervisors: the primary supervisor and the day/night leads. The interview began with ethics, essentially reviewing expectations. During this part, the interviewer clarified that the job involved being a custodian and that the people I'd work with might treat me as if I were invisible, though he mentioned there were nice people there. Once I understood and accepted that, we moved on to the technical aspects of the job, covering what I'd need to do. He pointed out several necessary tools and asked about my knowledge of them. Finally, he went into the detailed daily tasks of the job. Overall, it was a very realistic interview, and I knew exactly what to expect.

The interview process spanned two days and included accommodations for hotel and meals. The candidate interacted with students, faculty, and staff in group settings, followed by a meeting with their supervisor. Lunch was also provided with students. A presentation tailored to the specific group the candidate would collaborate with was part of the process.

The department reached out to see if I was interested in the job. I had a zoom meeting with the supervisor where we discussed my research interests and the job responsibilities. After that, I accepted their offer.
