I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern University (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I interviewed for an Administrative Assistant for the Pritzker School of Law. The process took 4+ weeks. The interview itself was really short. I had a feeling that they already had a candidate in mind because they didn't really ask me questions about myself, only questions regarding my work experience. It felt really impersonal. They were pretty quick to end the interview after less than an hour. After that I sent a follow-up thank you email and didn't get any response. Four weeks later I receive a generic email from Northwestern saying I didn't get the job. As prestigious as Northwestern is, taking 4+ weeks to get back to candidates on the status of their interview is pretty unprofessional and can lead to tarnishing of Northwestern's reputation.

Interview
The phone interview was very relaxed! The hiring manager asked a lot of general questions regarding my skill set and past experiences. Be prepared to describe why you are interested in the job.

The interviews were casual, on zoom, as they are wont to be nowadays. The first interview was with one person, then a second interview with a whole team. They asked general interview questions and also specific scenario questions based on the department.
