I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Bishop Museum (Honolulu, HI) in Nov 2021
Interview
Initial phone interview, then Teams interview with three people who took turns asking me a variety of questions over an hour interview. After the interview, the hiring manager reached out to my references (usually only done after a conditional offer) but completely ignored all my follow up attempts. Never once heard back from them
I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Bishop Museum in Feb 2012
Interview
Was at the time based in Boston and received a phone call from the Archaeology department manager for only fit questions. We talked for about 30 minutes and I received an offer the next day.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bishop Museum (Honolulu, HI) in Mar 2011
Interview
Submitted application. 3-4 months later I heard back and was called in to interview. Interview process was standard. Hiring process was extremely unprofessional. I was told one salary number by my then soon-to-be-laid-off manager and then hired on at a lower salary.
Already knowing someone at the museum is a HUGE benefit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Had to give a presentation. Other than that it was a rather vanilla interview.
