First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at University of Delaware.
Research Assistant
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.
- What value can you bring to the team?
Research Assistant
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.

Research Assistant
First, you'll chat with a potential research advisor to see if your interests align. Then, you'll get a straightforward research problem to tackle over a semester. The professor will decide if they want to hire you based on how you do during that time. You'll also be part of the lab during this trial period, possibly attending group meetings and weekly check-ins.
- Can you tell me about your areas of interest and the kinds of projects you're looking to work on?
