Research Assistant at Stanford University
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Jun 2008 – Reviewed Apr 29, 2009
Interview Details – It was a very low stress process, however this is very specific to the area of the school I work in (and those I now work under). There was pressure on their end to hire someone and the process was quick. I had a short phone interview that led to an in person interview, 1:1 with 2 separate supervisors. It was a casual discussion about abilities, interests, and needs.
Interview Question – No question was unexpected or difficult, all within my realm of experience and non-specific. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Essentially the position was offered as a non-negotiable salary due to budget constraints. I have found out that the employee I replaced was payed significantly more. I have not, and do not intend to, push on this front.
