I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UT Dallas in Jan 2010
Interview
Asks a few basic questions, such as..."Do you know how to make a gear?". Basically looking for some small aptitude but mostly perseverance and willingness to go the extra mile. The interview will be with the director. Try to show him what you can bring to the table and a few small projects you have done. This is mainly a chemical lab, but there is a use for mechanical, electrical, and biology people too.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UT Dallas (Richardson, TX) in June 2020
Interview
Got an interview by emailing the professor in charge of the role. Getting an interview by just applying online won't help as many students apply so it's better to reach out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No technical questions. Just went over resume and talked about the research they were working on.
I applied through university. I interviewed at UT Dallas
Interview
I sat in a room with two people. They asked me questions based on my experience and explained how this position would have access to students' private information and wanted to make sure I could keep it confidential. They were friendly and the interview was not overly formal.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at UT Dallas (Dallas, TX) in Apr 2018
Interview
I only had Phone screening with the Lab Manager where i was asked a few things about my profile including graduation date and GPA. It was easy but getting this call is difficult.
