Behavioral Technical

You start with a 15-30 minute phone screening from The Director of Institutional Planning. You'll learn about the job duties and the company, and they'll ask you to talk about yourself. After that, there's an in-person interview for about 45 minutes with 4 people. It was pretty relaxed, and you'll get typical interview questions, though some seemed unrelated to the job, like asking about my favorite boss.

Confirmed questions7 questions
  • Can you tell me a bit about yourself?
  • What makes you want this job?
  • How do you cope with working under pressure?
