I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Maynooth University (Dublin, Dublin) in Nov 2020
Interview
I applied in late September and didn't get contacted until mid-November. HR communicated mainly in emails. I got interviewed online 2 weeks after the invitation.
It was pretty annoying the mails from Maynooth people go to spam all the time. If you apply for a job there, remember to check your spam.
4 people on the interview panel for an executive job, 3 people asked more than 10 questions within 30 minutes in total, it was indeed a bit tense. The candidate really had to be prepared.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Previous experience and examples of how to deal with different situations regarding administration, communication and teamwork as well as IT skills.
Formal, with a very corporate feel. They take the interview seriously so you should too. A background in academia and administration feels very necessary. A respect for and understanding of authority and hierarchy is necessary
