I worked as a volunteer for about a year before they even considered giving me a full time position. There was no formal interview, rather I was considered for a paid position after volunteering.
Other Undergraduate Research Assistant interview reviews for Utah State University
I applied online. I interviewed at Utah State University (Logan, UT) in Jan 2019
Interview
It has a pretty normal interview process. The application is done online and there is only one round for student interviews. The interview probably lasted 30 minutes and was pretty low pressure.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is something that you are interested in researching?
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Utah State University (Logan, UT) in Aug 2011
Interview
I was taking a class from this particular professor. She expressed at the end of a lecture that she was looking for an Undergraduate Research Assistant and that if we were interested to come visit her during office hours. I went to see her and she asked me what I wanted to do in the future and why I wanted to be her Undergraduate Research Assistant. She told me she wanted to talk to a few other students.
After a few days she let me know that I could have the job if I wanted it.
