Saint Louis University Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Long and detailed process - multiple calls to references, skill testing, multiple interviews with various individuals in department and HR, employee health testing. Required follow up on part of candidate, this is part of what separates those who succeed from those who don't, it should not discourage anyone who really wants to work at SLU. Can be confusing, ask HR for clarification whenever you need it, they are very helpful

Negotiation Details – if you really want to work there hang in and follow up, it takes awhile but don't give up. read everything they send you and stay in touch with HR. be very careful what you share, you can be judged on a random "chit chat" comment as much as on what you have on your resume. Clarify everything, in writing before you quit a current position or make a commitment

Interview Details – I emailed my resume and cover letter to the department chair with an indication of my interest to teach as adjunct. I was notified by email by an assistant dean that SLU was interested in pursuing an interview. The interview last approximately two hours and included several faculty members and department heads. All persons involved were friendly, helpful, and informed.

Interview Details – Consisted of one 30 minute phone interview with basic behavioral and skill based questions. After phone interview, I was invited to a 2nd interview that consisted of 4 people. Again, pretty basic personality, behavioral and skill based questions. After 2nd interview, I had a 3rd interview with the CIO, IT Director, and manager. This was the final interview and was nearly all personality type questions to see if I'd be a good fit. After final interview I received an offer within a few days. The offer was low but more than what I was making so I accepted.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. Ask for what you want up front because raises are pretty dismal and opportunities for advancement don't come by often.

Interview Details – I walked into the student mailroom and asked if they were hiring. Sure enough they were I filed out an application and gave it directly to the manager. She looked over my app. The next day I received a phone call from her and she asked me like two questions. How could i contribute to their "team" and do I have experience handling difficult customers. It was pretty easy and straight forward. It took like 10 minutes. After that I got a tour of the mail room asked a few questions they were answered and she informed me that training was the next day and I had the job.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation. I had work study and so my wage was pretty much set.

Interview Details – I applied online and was called the same day. We met in person that week and had an an interview that consisted of me talking with my two supervisors. No curveballs, very straightforward process. Asked a few technical situational questions that were easy to answer

Interview Details – Meet the supervisor then he told me if I could do it

Interview Details – After applying for the position online I received a call to schedule a phone interview. The phone interview included typical behavioral-based questions and was conducted by 4 members of the Career Center. Questions were common and it was easy to portray my passion for working with students. The next step was an all day interview process. This began with a 10 minute presentation on my approach to working with students. Then there were 6 different rounds of panel and one on one interviews including more questioning during lunch. At each panel interview there were some of the same employees and at others there were different employees from related offices on campus. This was a very dizzying approach since most the questions were repeated multiple times throughout the day. The day ended with a background check. After a couple of weeks, I received a phone call to schedule another phone interview. I was told the process had left them with two candidates to consider. The second phone interview was similar to the first, but with more specific scenario questions. A few days later I was called and informed that no one was selected and that the position was going to be re-posted. I enjoyed the process and liked all the people that I met. I look at not getting this job as a sign that it was not meant to be at this time. There was some reason I didn't get the position and since I met all the qualifications and more, it was most likely something in my personality or approach. If I did not get this position based on who I am, then it's not a position I would want to begin with.

Interview Details – The interview was very standard and offered variable information about the position. The interviewer said there were 65 applicants and 10 were to be interviewed. The person that conducted the interview seemed less that enthused about the employer. There was no information given afterwards about when the position was filled, though I inqured both by phone and email.
