Behavioral

The hiring manager, who is the head of the department, was very understanding and helpful. They were supportive of not only my professional development but also respectful of my time as a student with a full-time schedule. The interview included typical behavioral questions and focused heavily on character assessment.

Behavioral Presentation

It was a long hiring process with several interviews done in a panel setting. Lots of people get hired on campus. I suggest learning about the campus and asking about our business practices. Follow-up can take a while.

Behavioral Technical

First, you'll have a phone chat with the manager to see if you're a good fit. If that goes well, you'll then have an in-person interview with the manager and maybe some other folks. They'll ask about what you can do and why you're interested in working there. You'll also need to explain how your skills match what they're looking for.
