I applied and heard back within a few days, with an interview scheduled for that same week since they wanted to fill the spot fast. It was a panel interview and the people interviewing me seemed nice. I'm not sure if I was misled, because I never heard back from them. I tried reaching out a bunch of times and seriously never got a response. That's never happened to me before, which I think says a lot about their work culture. Even though the job description was exactly what I wanted, I was surprised by how little they followed up and was confused by what happened.

I had an in-person interview with two people from the department, and it went well. They then asked me to do a second round, which involved two phone interviews (because it was easier logistically) with someone else from the department and a person who manages several departments. I got offered the job the very next day. The entire process, from when I applied, took about a week.

Great process. For my campaign, I had a phone screening, panel interview, and a final coffee chat. The interviews are done by your team members, except for the phone screening. If your position requires a foreign language, you will be tested in it. During COVID, interviews and everything are remote, and I imagine UNF will continue with the remote interview process permanently.
