Administrative Assistant
It wasn't difficult at all, they ask basic questions and also ask you to talk about yourself. Very good work environment. English is not required and you must have studied accounting.

Administrative Assistant
The interview process was very straightforward. I was asked to list my specific experience with a number of skills beforehand. I was also given the questions in advance so I could think about my answers. As far as I know, this is uncommon for this type of position at UCSC. Everyone was very friendly, and I received excellent feedback after the interview. They were clear about when I'd hear back, and they stuck to their timeline.
- I had the questions ahead of time, so there wasn't anything unexpected. I don't recall any of the specific questions or any of them being particularly difficult.
- I always dislike the question about a difficult situation and how you handled it.

I applied online and uploaded my resume. It took about a month to hear back for an interview. They interviewed ten people for the role. I think my references and past experience really helped me get the job.
