Behavioral Presentation
The interview process moved quickly initially, but then slowed down considerably during the recommendation review phase. The company tends to make lowball offers, so it's important to advocate for the pay you deserve. An HR representative unacceptably used her own salary as an example of why they don't offer higher compensation. The committee interview involved too many people. Typically, there are three rounds, and depending on the role, a work sample might be required.

The interview was 4 hours long. I started with HR for a 25-minute writing sample. Then I met with a committee of eight for an hour, where they asked basic questions, though it was a bit strange having so many college reps present who weren't related to the job. Next, I met with another committee of five for an hour. Finally, I met with a small group of three, including the director supervisor.

After submitting your resume and application, there's a phone interview/screening. Then, an in-person interview with a competency activity, usually a writing sample. The second round is with VPs, and it's a real cut, not just a formality. Finally, reference calls/background check before a job offer.

Behavioral Presentation
So I had three interviews, the first was a phone interview with the person I'd report to. Then I had an in-person interview with a committee of seven people. The last one was an in-person interview with two heads of that side of the College. HR was super helpful and kept me in the loop the whole time. Didn't get the job in the end, but it was a good experience and helped me get ready for future interviews.
