The interview process for this student worker role wasn't much. Student jobs are really common here, so there's no need to worry. Most students seem to get them, so just be yourself. Honestly, I don't think the process is that hard.

They had some interviews and writing tasks to check if I could tutor others. There were mock tutoring sessions too, to see how I'd do the actual job. I interviewed with the director and also with my potential peers.

It was a 6-hour panel interview that included a presentation. I got an email saying I didn't get the job, which I thought was really unprofessional and disrespectful considering how much time I invested in the process.
