Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Publicity Coordinator
I had an initial email interview, then a virtual recorded interview, and finally a panel interview with the department and HR. HR didn't reply to my emails twice, so it was almost a month of silence. They sent a rejection email at 10 pm and ignored my request for feedback after the final round. Very rude and unprofessional, especially after making it to the last stage.
- How would you pitch a book about Chicago food to media outlets, and where would you start?
Program Coordinator
We started with a 30-minute Zoom call. Then, there was a full day of activities including a tour of the building and campus. You had to give a presentation to students, staff, and campus partners. There was also a meet and greet with interns and a committee interview, followed by a one-on-one with leadership.
- Can you introduce yourself and explain why you're interested in this position?
- Can you share an example of a conflict you had with a coworker and how you handled it?
- What issues do you see impacting a particular group of students on campus?
Program Coordinator
I had one virtual interview with three people, one of whom would be my supervisor. They seemed prepared and asked good questions about my background and training. Some questions were standard, but others were tailored to me.
