This position was for a special project, so the interview was very straight-forward. They described the position to me, explained that it would be 2-3 months long, and asked if I was comfortable with the job duties and pay and basically offered me the job. The other College Assistants working with me on the project were pretty much offered the job over the phone after HR reviewed their resumes. My position is slightly different than theirs, though we mostly work on the same project. I was interviewed face-to-face after a brief phone discussion. I applied in August, but they didn't call me until late Nov or early Dec. The pay was not negotiable.

There was no real interview process. I was referred to the position by a friend and the interview was with the director, it took only 20 minutes. I kind of already knew I had the job, it was more of an official meeting with the director
