I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Riverland Community College (Austin, MN) in Oct 2021
Interview
This was a typical remote interview for a communications position. I did not write down the questions, but they were unremarkable. I was interviewed by the Dean of Institutional Advancement, the Director of Grants and Alumni Relations, and the Executive Director of Communications, Media Relations, and Marketing. There were, I believe, eight questions, after which I gave the presentation they requested regarding ideas, concepts, and strategy for an alumni engagement campaign using Facebook and LinkedIn.
The interviewers were pleasant and professional.
