The interview process began with a virtual meeting via Zoom, followed by an in-person session that included a skills demonstration.

Group Behavioral
I applied online, and they scheduled the first interview about a month later. Then I had a second interview shortly after that. I received a rejection about a month after the interviews. The group interview wasn't very friendly or welcoming; I'm not sure if it was because they weren't interested or if that's just their style. I actually ended my interview early because I didn't enjoy the conversation and already knew how it was going to end.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process was fairly easy for Staff Assistant I. It was more of a conversation than an interrogation. Definitely can say they were looking to see how you behaved and responded as opposed to your skillset. With Staff Assistant II the interview process was more time consuming. First you met with the department than if you were selected as a possible candidate you were invited for a 2nd interview. For the second interview you would meet with the department again and other members you would potentially be working with. The interview process involved showcasing your skillset and leaving room for questions.

Behavioral Other
The leadership team and hiring committee were very unprofessional. During dinner, one of the hiring committee members commented on my appearance and ate my leftovers. An administrator asked me how I would fit in with the UT culture, given my diversity, which I found concerning. The questions were racist and I'm not sure if they ask that of everyone. I declined the offer because I was uncomfortable. It was one of the worst interview experiences, and they've been trying to fill this position for a while.
