Behavioral Technical Presentation
This was a 3 hour interview process. It involved meeting with the Director of Creative Services first in a casual conversation of the position and telling him a little bit about yourself. Then interviewing with a panel of other people on the Creative Services team, after that was break time and a tour of the department building and where you would be working. Then reconvened back to a smaller panel of HR, the Director of Creative Sevices and a couple of other key decision makers. That concludes the entire interview.

Behavioral Other
I sent in a long application, and then I had interviews. First, I talked to someone who is currently an RA, and then I met with a staff member from Residence Life and a Resident Director. The first interview was pretty relaxed, mostly so I could get comfortable with interviewing and see if the job was actually a good fit for me. The second one was more serious.

Behavioral Technical
I was asked about my certifications, but since I had already completed a course with the Athletics Director, the process wasn't super tough. I also had to react to unexpected situations, both in and out of the pool, showing I could act quickly, correctly, and communicate well.

Presentation Behavioral
I reached out to a social science department about a conference interview. It was a terrible experience; the interviewers were very condescending and asked difficult questions just to show off. They seemed to intentionally try to make the questions hard.
