The hiring process was three steps. An online application, a 20 min zoom interview, and then 2 additional 20 min on site interviews. Each interview contains about 12 questions, and the interviewers will help you with timing if need be. The process is competitive, and they interview a lot of students. The interviews have many behavioral questions, and the in-person interviews include small activities to demonstrate skills in time management and leadership. They give you the questions either in the Zoom chat or printed on paper, which is nice. The interviewers will take notes while you talk and not converse much outside of questions. I did a lot of prep for these interviews, and you will also have to if you want to get the job. Make sure you prepare different questions for every interview. Ultimatey everyone is nice, and they want you to succeed, but they have a lot of qualified candidates, making the entire process pretty lengthy.

Behavioral Presentation

I applied and it took awhile to hear back because they had to wait until the review date passed before looking at applications. Then I had a small panel interview with 4-5 members of the search committee, and after that, I met alone with the director. It took two days after my interview to get offered the job. I had to pass a background check, which took about a week, before I was officially hired.

  • Can you tell me about a project you managed from start to finish?
