I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Northwestern University (Chicago, IL) in Sep 2016
Interview
I had a very positive interview experience with Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine for a communications coordinator position. I applied online and had a phone interview about two weeks after applying. My phone interview was with a wonderful/ cheerful HR person, we talked about my skills and why I was interested in the role.
Two weeks after my phone interview I had the in-person interview and met with about five people for 30 minutes each. Every person was friendly and seemed really interested in my skills. I also took a 15-minute proofreading test.
I was told that I would be notified in two weeks about a decision but I didn't get a notification until almost two months later. The process was very positive and one of the best interview experience while doing my job search.

Interview
Long process. Applied in February, had two interviews in March, and one interview at the end of April. Interviews were straightforward and conversational with the Director and two members of the team. The last interview was in-person at the department office. The Director of the department emailed me about a week later with an unofficial offer. He told me he was asking HR to move forward with a formal offer, "very impressed with your qualifications," and "I look forward to working with you!" After references were submitted, HR sent a rejection three weeks later. There was no explanation besides "going with someone more experienced". Based on the director's previous email, it was not apparent that other candidates were still in consideration. The director never responded to my questions about why they changed their minds.
My only conclusion is that something came up in the reference check, but they refused to tell me. I am now suspicious of my references and need to reevaluate who I ask to supply them. It was a very disappointing experience.

Easy and straight. It wasn’t long too. About an hour or so it was very informative. Also, could have been shorter if anything 579323f45f2549001a9075b98fe3438f This is a reminder your appointment for Video Interview is on Thursday, October 27, 2022 3:00pm ACCEPT CALENDAR INVITE TO CONFIRM INTERVIEW: Once
