They first selected candidates based on their scores in standardized exams like the GRE and their academic qualifications. Then, they confirmed English language proficiency through a test. After that, they asked for a personal statement of purpose. I mentioned my undergraduate degree in Petroleum & Mining Engineering, with significant coursework in Geology and Geophysics. I also highlighted my strong background in Geo-Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Numerical Simulation, Calculus, Laplace Transformation, and Engineering Statistics. Additionally, I listed my experience with various software and programming languages, including ProMax2D, Petrel, SurfSeis3, IXRefraX3, IXIDV-2, RES2DINV, CANVAS, C++, and Surfer. Finally, they verified my academic background and availability. They offered me the position, which I accepted. Candidates can also decline the offer. They also assessed my willingness to take on challenges and engage in goal-oriented work for the company.

Behavioral Technical
I was super nervous, it was my first job at Wright State and one of the first interviews I had to do that really counted. David Bringhurst, the director, asked me some typical interview questions, and there were two other writing consultants in the room with us. It was during the summer and the room was really hot with the door shut. Between that and my nerves, I can barely remember anything from the interview. David was pretty chill and actually helped me calm down. As part of the earlier process, they had me look at my grammar skills and answer some questions to show my personality and work ethic.

I applied online. First, there was a telephone interview with 2-3 members of the search committee. Then, I had an interview with the search committee, met with other faculty and staff, and gave an open presentation of my research. I also had 1-on-1 meetings with the department chair and the Dean of the College. Additionally, I gave a presentation to a class of students whose feedback was collected in writing.
