Behavioral Presentation

You'll start with a phone screen over Teams where they'll go over your resume. After that, you'll meet with other lecturers and professors who are on the tenure track. Then, you'll need to give a 15-20 minute lecture, followed by a 10-minute Q&A session. The process concludes with a dinner at a nice restaurant.

I applied for this position online through the university's website and was called about a month later to schedule a phone interview for the following week. The interview was conducted by two people: the supervisor of this position and another staff member the candidate would work closely with. They said they had seven questions they were asking each candidate; this took about 30 minutes and then I had a chance to ask questions. I was told they were conducting phone interviews the remainder of that week followed by in person interviews for final candidates; they were looking for someone to begin about a month later. I was told that I would be notified regardless of their decision about me moving forward. After two and half weeks and two follow up emails, I have heard nothing nor received a response from my initiative.

The hiring manager, who had a foreign accent and was hard to understand, called to set up an interview that was scheduled for several weeks later. This was after I had already waited more than 6 months since the job posting was removed. On the scheduled date, they apparently forgot to call me. The manager then called later to apologize and we rescheduled. The interview itself was a conference call, done in a roundtable style where each person asked one question without any additional comments or follow-up.

I had a phone interview with two people at the same time. I felt like it went great because I was ready for everything they asked and I have the qualifications. They said they were busy but I should hear back in a few days. I never heard back from them even though I tried to reach out. About a month later, I got a standard email saying the job was taken.
