Interviewed Apr 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took a day)
The staff that I meet with were very welcoming and professional. The process was very informative and even laid back. For your interview presentation, if you can provide examples of how you would address issues in the job, it should be very beneficial. Also, the arrangements to bring me in for the interview were handled very professionally and made the trip to Baltimore a pleasure. Go into the interview confident and friendly. That kind of attitude will go a long way towards proving that you are a good fit for the university.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 3 days)
recruiter contacted me via email after having dealt with me previously, after submitting my materials, participated in a teleconference and then was flown in for an in-person panel interview. Typical reference checks followed. Was booked to visit overseas site but, after my research, living standards there were not up to par

Interviewed Aug 2010 (took 6+ weeks)
After submitting my application online, I was invited to an interview with four interviewers and myself. While it was only 30 minutes, the panel used their time very appropriately, asking relevant questions and did a great job with follow-up questions to gain the information that they were searching for. They offered time at the end for questions about the position, office and specific details. I made it to the second round of interviews, where I had a 1:1 interview with the individual who would be my supervisor. This interview lasted one hour and was more in-depth to the specifics of the job. The interviewer did a great job detailing the duties and responsibilities of the position. One thing to keep in mind is the fact that the University of Maryland is a large university with a ton of smaller departments. Make sure that you're educated in the university as a whole, along with the specific department that you're applying to.
