      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tufts University in Sept 2021

      Interview

      Solid zoom and phone interviews. Follow up was severely lacking. Kept being told another week and they would decide if I had secured position. In the meantime I sent emails about various things like questions I had and they were never responded to. After nearly three weeks of no updates I was sent an email denying my employment and received no responses to any of my emails or telephone messages.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tufts University in Oct 2019

      Interview

      Swift, thorough and professional but not intimidating. Began with inquiries about myself followed by a segment in which I could also inquire about the position, department and current faculty. There was a phone session with HR, a video conference with the department administrators and then a follow up with HR to negotiate pay/benefits. Very well organized.

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tufts University (Medford, MA) in May 2019

      About a month after applying, I received an email from the administrative coordinator of the department to schedule a phone screening. During the phone screening, details regarding the position were discussed and I was asked 5 questions regarding my qualifications. A week later I was scheduled for an in-person interview with 3 people from the department, which lasted about 45 minutes. That same week HR reached out through email for 3 references, background check, and scheduled a phone conversation.
