It was pretty informal, my advisor suggested I for the project while I was still an undergrad. The project was based in another country and was a collaboration with the local university. Since it involved a lot of travel and commitment, the main thing they wanted to know was if I could handle traveling alone in a foreign country.

I had a chat with two people for about half an hour. They asked about my past work, my abilities, and what I'm looking for in this role. The interviewers were super nice and let me ask them anything I wanted.

Behavioral Presentation

So, the interview process had two rounds. The first was a video call with the search committee where they asked basic questions like why I was interested and what I could contribute. The second round was a whole day event at the university a few weeks later. It started with breakfast with the search team and future colleagues, followed by another interview with the search team (asking similar questions as before). Then, I interviewed with the department head, got a quick campus tour, and had lunch with the director. After lunch, we returned to campus for a presentation I had to give about an initiative I cared about. The day wrapped up with a debrief session with the director.

I traveled to Chattanooga from the east coast for this interview. The librarian I'd be reporting to picked me up, and we went to dinner with the library director. The next day was a full day of interviewing. It started with a presentation, then I met with various panels, and got a tour of the building, which is pretty large. The presentation was about implementing subject guides and my process for doing so. Since there are many staff members and departments, the group interviews can be long. Everyone was friendly, and it's a nice building.
