Behavioral Presentation
We hire mainly through the UMass HR website. You'll get an email with an interview invite. Some PIs do a phone interview first, others prefer an in-person. To be fair, we ask everyone the same questions. Everyone involved in hiring fills out an evaluation form after the interview. The person with the best score gets the job.
