I applied through university. I interviewed at Stony Brook University
Interview
N/A, I just applied as a master's student before I graduated from the undergraduate program, and the department reviewed my application materials, then they gave me the offer, so I didn't have the interview process.
I applied online. I interviewed at Stony Brook University (Stony Brook, NY) in Dec 2025
Interview
Three rounds: (1) screening call, (2) Zoom interview, & (3) In-person ~2 hour interview with multiple people. Structured question/answer with limited room for casual conversation, but interviewers were very nice.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: How do you manage people's expectations?
Q: What is your experience working with VIPs?
Was headhunted by a recruiter -- I did not even know about the role nor did I apply before I was contact by the recruiter on LinkedIn. It sounded like a perfect fit so I applied and was invited to interview on Zoom. Was ghosted completely-- no reply to my thank you nor follow up outreach, not even notification the role was filled/they went with someone else which is unprofessional. It would have been helpful to know what happened/why candidates were no longer considered (particularly given that this was a career services role in higher ed-- informing applicants a decision has been made is basic interview etiquette which one would at least expect from a career services office).
