The interview process was good, but took a long time. It felt like I wasn't a priority. It all worked out in the end and I got the job! I just wish they would have respected my time like I respected theirs.

It was a Zoom panel interview with three interviewers, one of whom was the hiring manager. Because it's a communications job, they wanted to know about my writing and research skills, social media stuff, how I get along with different people like professors, students, and admin, if I can work alone or with others, how I handle deadlines and juggle projects, and how I put together content for different kinds of writing.

I applied on UD's handshake website and sent in my resume. I was offered an interview and set up a time to chat with the professor. She asked some basic things like what my major was, what year I was in, and so on. She also asked about my future goals and why I was interested in joining her research team.
