Where do I go for the interview?

Human Resources is located in East Wing in room E111.

How much time should I allow for the scheduled on-site interview?

While time for the on-site interview does vary from position to position, we would recommend an hour and a half.

How early should I arrive for my interview?

We suggest you arrive about 10-15 minutes early for the interview to allow ample time to park and check in with the Human Resources Department.

What should I expect during the interview?

For staff and full-time faculty positions, candidates are interviewed by various college individuals making up what is called the search committee. Applicants will interview in a panel format. The panel group interview is usually comprised of three or more individuals asking pertinent questions related to the position. This type of panel group interview is a question and answer session. For some positions you might be asked to participate in some type of simulation or instructional presentation related to the work environment.

For a majority of adjunct faculty positions, candidates are interviewed by the respective Dean or academic officer on an individual basis.

What can I do to prepare for my interview?

Review the description of the position for which you are applying, and evaluate how your experience will make you the ideal candidate.
