Behavioral Technical
I applied on a Friday and they called me Monday for a screening. Then, I had 3 more interviews scheduled over the next 2 weeks via Teams and Zoom. The HR Recruiter called me after 5pm after each interview to tell me I made it to the next round. After the 3rd interview, I had to give them FIVE professional references, and they gave me one day to get it done. Then they asked me for a 4th interview. After 3 days of silence, I got a rejection call the next week at 5:30pm. I felt like they were biased against me because of a gap in my resume from medical issues.

Presentation Technical Behavioral Case
The first step was a presentation and technical evaluation where I had to present a data visualization dashboard I made to tackle a real-world institutional problem. I showed off a Tableau dashboard aimed at helping with student retention, enrollment, and academic performance decisions. They checked my ability to share insights, create data pipelines, and make sure analytics supported what the organization wanted. They asked good questions about how interactive it was, the metrics used, and where the data came from, showing they really care about using data effectively. After that, I moved to a second round which was a panel interview focused on behavioral and situational questions, plus some role-specific ones. The panel had people from institutional research and planning. They wanted to hear about my background in institutional research and student analytics, how I manage competing tasks and deadlines, my experience with predictive models and dashboards, and how I work with different teams. Everyone was really professional and seemed genuinely interested in how I approach using data for decisions in higher education.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was good. Two lengthy virtual interviews with HR and the hiring teams that felt appropriate to the needs of the postition. The only downside was the wait after the final interview. They did not inform me of their decision in the time frame they commited to, but when I sent a follow-up email they immediately responded with a rejection. They obviously had already made the decision, and it felt like they'd just forgotten to inform me.

The process was pretty easy, and I've been hired for 3 separate roles already. Once I sent in my application, I scheduled an interview with the faculty investigators. Hiring and onboarding went smoothly and were easy to understand, mostly because there are no benefits and training is just the standard stuff. Just be sure to be clear about your availability for the role from the beginning and don't hesitate to ask any questions you have.
