Occidental College Interview Questions

The interview process was a conversation with the hiring manager, including some questions about office experience. It was just one step, so it was very manageable! The training was also very thorough

No email confirmation. The notification for the job opportunity was through a phone call. Was in the restroom when I told him I was going to call back. He called back after just 15 in when I was still busy and when I return the call he ignored my call. Very unprofessional way of conducting business and suggest to not work in this environment.

Half day interview, met with other members of the team, asked standard questions about experience. Didn't give many scenarios, asked about what I was interested in, gave a lot of time to ask questions about the position.

Process took about 2 weeks. They were considering students with work study so the job was restricted to a degree. Everybody involved with the process was really nice and made interviewing for the job comfortable.

Mainly an email with five questions. First, few questions are designed to weed out those who can't start right away and have certain salary expectations. The last question goes over a project you worked on recently. After a few days, you get an email from an internal resource that someone will reach out to you for the next steps. Days go by with no call or follow up email. I noticed the position is no longer available online. Then a few weeks later the position is open again. No courtesy, inform applicants to expect a followup call or email, then nothing.

Very quick and easy I was happy to meet the hiring manager go over some of the logistics quickly understand what the job was really about and then have it offered to me.

I submitted my application online through email with my certifications to the lifeguard coordinator and was offered the job without an interview. The lifeguarding itself takes minimal effort since patrons are fairly responsible (college students). I had to get a second job on campus because they hired a lot of lifeguards and hours are limited.

Phone interview followed by an in-person interview with two individuals in the department. Answered a set of 6 or so questions. The questions were straight forward, standard interview questions. It was not an intimidating experience, very comfortable environment.

There was an interview panel that consisted of 5 interviewers. All took turns proposing questions and explaining the mission of this institution. It was a professional setting, and beautiful campus.

Interviews had two components: group activities and one-on-one interview. The group activities consisted of various problem solving exercises and the individual interview consisted of around 5 questions that tested candidates understanding of the position and how they are qualified for the position.
