I applied online. I interviewed at Iowa State University in Sep 2025
Interview
Started with a 30-min phone screen, had a good conversation. Then went to a Zoom panel interview with the director and 2 other employees. Some basic questions and a decent amount of behavioral stuff. The director was very friendly & engaged, but the other 2 seemed bored; it kind of came off as if they had someone else in mind. No offer, unfortunately. Bummed!
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How do you go about dealing with a difficult coworker?
The interview was a mix of 1:1s with hiring manager and HR staff along with small group interviews with standard behavior-based questions and problem solving scenarios. The interview lasted right at two hours.
This was more of an informal interview process for a particular group. Was asked general questions about my preparation, my projects. The interview happened after I received acceptance were more interested about the fit rather than testing knowledge.
