Applied online, then had an onsite visit where I met with other students, the department, and toured the campus. I discussed research with several potential advisors. They also drove me around town to look at apartments. I had a nice lunch with current students to learn about the program. Then, I had a Zoom call with the advisor and another meeting in the advisor's lab with current students.

Applied internally for an IT Analyst position. Interviewed with the IT Manager and one of the admins. Interview was smooth and went well. Then, complete radio silence. Sent several emails to the manager (even with read receipts) and got absolutely nothing back and was ghosted. Only found out I wasn't selected by another manager who told me after I asked.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process had three rounds total. First, I talked to the recruiter, they gave me an overview of the job and checked if I was qualified. Then, I had interviews with the team in the department, which went deeper into my experience and skills. I talked about how my background fits the department's goals. The last round was with the Chair of the department. It was mostly behavioral, asking how I handle challenges, work with teams, and help the department succeed. Each round was a deeper look at my qualifications and fit.

I went through multiple interview rounds. In the final interview, I was with a small group from the department. One woman in the group was hostile and seemed tense, clearly not wanting another man on the team. She asked a 'gotcha' question, which is a difficult question with no easy answer. I was told I'd hear back about the job, but I never did, even after following up. I found out the job was filled when I saw the new hire on the department's webpage.
