Interviewed Jun 2011 in Tacoma, WA (took 4+ weeks)
Through an employee referral, I applied online. Within three weeks, I was invited for a 20-minute phone interview with a selection committee. They asked a variety of questions, including but not limited to student development, event planning and diversity. The following day I was invited for an on campus interview, which was planned two weeks later. The on campus interview was a day long process, where I invited with different members of the campus community, individually or in groups. However, I did not hear back regarding my candidacy following the interview. I found out that the position was offered to another person online. However, the campus is small but growing and has strong ties to the surrounding community. Mostly everyone I interviewed with loved the work that they, which all was in support of the students.
Please know that I am a very mellow and calm yet collection kinda guy, but one interview, in particular, from my campus visit left a bad taste in my mouth. It actually changed my mind about the position, and after walking away from that, I realized I didn't want to work for a senior level administrator, who was really aggressive, not welcoming, and too proud. This is not a reflection of others.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 4+ weeks)
Submitted resume and was called in for an interview. Answered the standard questions, and was called back for a second interview a few weeks later. At the second interview I was asked more program specific questions, like how I would handle organizing multiple programs at once, and what experience I have dealing with students from other countries (the position was in an international programs department).

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
It was a disappointed experience to have a phone interview with UW, especially more disappointments later. For the initial phone interview with HR, it sounded like a positive experience. After a couple of weeks, I was seriously wrong. They discriminate against people with future work sponsorship. So, if you need any sponsorship from them, don't waste your time there. Also, you will find the position description growing bigger and bigger after they rejected more people. Eventually, you will find a job description mixing with any kind of qualification you can think of. If you are a serious job seeker, recommend not to waste your time there.

Interviewed Dec 2009 in Seattle, WA (took 3 weeks)
To get an interview at the Univ of Washington, an individual needs to submit an application for a specific position to the UW Human Resources Department. The Department reviews the application to ensure it is appropriate for the position applied for. If the applicant meets the job criteria, the application is rated by and HR person for appropriateness for the position applied for. They select the top applications and forward them to the requesting supervisor. The supervisor selects the candidates they wish to interview from those forwarded to them, and contacts the application. An interview is set up. The applicant may have to pass specific tests within each dept, depending upon the position. The applicant gets an opportunity to ask any questions he or she may have. The hiring person hires the candidate they think is the best for the position. The candidate may leave their application on the HR site, and forward it to other open positions they are interested in, as these positions get posted.

University has published salary ranges.
If you know names of staff you are benchmarking, go see their state published salaries to know what can be asked. Salary data will be a year old, but don't worry. University salaries have been on a freeze third year running, so data is perfect.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in Seattle, WA (took a day)
A few people sit in during the interview process. Questions regarding your previous experience doing technical support and communication abilities definitely arise. They want to see if you can accommodate for a wide range of people who ask for help; be it students, staff, visiting professors, to people who are just visiting the public library.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Seattle, WA (took 2 days)
10 minute phone interview. Took about 2-3 weeks to get called in for a panel interview after having asked for an update about my candidacy status. Panel interview consisted of 3 ppl. Some typical "what would you do if" questions along with questions related to the actual position.
Took another 3 weeks to get an answering concerning a second interview. First request for an update went ignored by HR even though I was told to contact them if I did not hear from them by the end of the week of the interview. I waited one more week to ask about the second interview again, which finally got a reply that I had not been chosen for a second interview.
