University of Nebraska Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process started with a recruiter call, then moved to a phone screen. They asked a lot of questions that are general, so you can probably just google frequently asked questions and handle it. Another seemingly innocuous interview question, this is actually a perfect opportunity to stand out and show your passion for and connection to the company. For example, if you found out about the gig through a friend or professional contact, name drop that person, then share why you were so excited about it. If you discovered the company through an event or article, share that. Even if you found the listing through a random job board, share what, specifically, caught your eye about the role.

The application process is easy & HR is great, but it's unfortunate when internal favoritism occurs during a public search, especially when the selected candidate doesn't meet preferred requirements. I learned that candidate privacy isn't always taken into consideration & the process can be a big waste of time for interested, but non-favored candidates. It sounds like this happens much more frequently than many care to admit. It appeared that the search committee was much more concerned about completing the standardized HR questions than actually getting to know the skills/depth of potential candidates.

It was a chill interview. They asked some basic questions and went over the NCAA rules. You'll pretty much know if you got the job right after. You do have to go to 2 more orientations after that, which are paid. But, you can start tutoring an athlete after the first orientation.

I applied for the Software Engineer role. After about a week, I got an email for a Skype interview, and then they invited me for an onsite interview. The interviewers were really nice and helped me feel comfortable throughout the process.
