Academic Services Administrator at University of South Florida
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Tampa, FL Jul 2012 – Reviewed Dec 2, 2012
Interview Details –
I was initially contacted by email to set up an on site interview. The interview lasted about 30 minutes and was one on one with the Director (direct reports to).
The questions were very standard interview questions, behavioral in nature.
Describe your greatest weakness/strength. What are you doing to help your weakness?
3 words to describe yourself.
Tell me about a time when you had to deliver bad news to your supervisor, how did you handle the situation?
Interview Question – The question was not unexpected, but it was difficult because it related to a software system this position would use heavily that I had no experience with. The system is not widely used and it wasn't expected that many (if any) candidates would have knowledge of the system, but answering honestly was key. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Negotiations took only a few days. I was contacted with an initial offer the day after my one on one interview. I countered to the high end of the advertised range and was offerred my requested amount about 3 days after the initial offer.

ESL Instructor at University of South Florida
No Offer – Interviewed in Tampa, FL May 2010 – Reviewed May 25, 2011
Interview Details – I felt the interview went well and because I had a higher degree than the job required must have been the reason that I did not get called for a second interview. It is a difficult job market everywhere these days and being over-educated for the positions that employers are posting makes the rejection sharper.

Biological Scientist at University of South Florida
No Offer – Interviewed in Tampa, FL Jan 2009 – Reviewed May 19, 2009
Interview Details – This job was for a facility lab tech in an academic institution. I submitted my application by email and received a very nice reply from the lab manager. I got a call about 2 weeks later for a phone interview. It seemed to go fine but perhaps not outstanding though as I got a rejection letter by mail 2 weeks after that. It could have been that I was slightly overqualified or perhaps that's what my ego would have me believe. But this lab manager passed my resume on to a colleague of his who was hiring for another position in a company which I also ended up interviewing for. So even though I didn't get the job it helped to get myself out there!
Interview Question – Why are you applying for this position though it's in a slightly different field from what you do now? View Answer
