I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Ithaca College in Apr 2021
Interview
Send in a resume with 2 references (one being a current RA and other being a professional reference) and answer a few short response questions. Most of the short response questions are re-asked in the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If given an unlimited budget, how would you program around social justice and diversity/inclusion?
Two interviews.
1) Speed dating style interview in which interviewees rotate between interviewers with 1 minute with each interviewer to describe themselves.
2) A classic sit-down interview with a current RA and a primary staff member. 10 questions or so, all aimed to gain a better understanding of the interviewer's skills and experience. A chance at the end of the interview to ask questions.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Ithaca College (Ithaca, NY) in Nov 2009
Interview
They are going to put flyers throughout campus about information sessions. Attend one then they will give out information for application process.
After applying, qualified candidates will be invited to individual interview with one current RA and one RD. Questions are mostly behavioral questions to see how you manage with dealing people. Prepare to provide specific examples of dealing with difficult types of people, how you manage your stress and time. After that, candidates will be invited to the group process that is about 3hour long. You will get a chance to express your thought and show RAs and RD how you interact with others.

Question 1
Not too many surprising questions. But "Why do we have to hire you?" questions might be hard.
