Research Associate
After an initial screening, candidates are contacted for an interview. The process is generally straightforward. The interview will focus on your abilities, past work, and potential contributions to the department. Make sure to be ready to discuss the skills listed on your resume and CV. Also, research the office before your interview.
- Tell me about your experiences that align with this role's requirements.
- What specific skills and experiences from your resume and CV are most relevant?
- How do you see yourself contributing to our office?
Student Assistant
The interview was conducted online, and I was asked standard questions about my experience with handling and organizing things. They also asked a lot of personality-based questions, putting me in different scenarios to see how I'd react.
- How will you manage your workload along with your studies?
- How do you handle a busy schedule with academic commitments?
Administrative Assistant
The interview process was okay. Just always follow up with HR and your immediate supervisor. Always complete the requirements ahead of time and be able to secure the vacancy. For example, PDS, Resume, and Government documents like Philhealth, SSS, TIN, and Pag-ibig ID.
- What motivated you to apply for this role?
Professor
You need to submit your application to the HRDO. From there, it goes to the department you're applying to. The department's academic personnel committee (APC) checks if there's an opening and reviews your application. If it looks good, they'll ask you to do a 'teaching demonstration'. If they're happy with that, your application moves up to the college's personnel committee, then to the UPLB academic personnel board, then to the UP System committee, and finally, the UP System Board of Regents will give the final confirmation.
- Can you commit to teaching, research, and extension work for several years?
- How do you feel about the semestral student evaluations for every course you teach?
- Are you comfortable starting with temporary status and aiming for permanent status through your qualifications, publications, and performance reviews?
