University of California Berkeley Interview Questions

I was invited to interview, and I provided some available times as requested. I never got a confirmation email. In my experience of doing interviews and regular work meetings, everyone I've encountered so far has confirmed a time before calling. No one else has ever just picked one of my available times without informing me which specific times you'll call me at. Unless it's a cold call, which I don't think it was meant to be because this was supposed to be an interview. They usually happen at scheduled times. I replied to their email very politely and apologetically for the miscommunication (though hardly any fault of my own) -- and got no response.

interview started with groups of three to four people and the interviewers take turns asking questions which each member of the group will have to respond. The interview was fairly quick with quite a lot of behavioral questions and at the end of the interview, each person must show a presentation.

Sent a questionnaire with several questions and scenarios. After completing and returning, never heard from them again, even after following up, even to say no thank you or not interested.

interview with founders, explaining what was my major interest for work and outside work. Getting to meet the team, set up expectations and tasks and communications for the semester. a very easy process

Interview process was fairly straight forward. The interviewer was laid back and it didn't feel too formal. We talked about past experience and any questions I had about the job.

Really laid back interview process. As much as your skills are important I think employers are also looking to see if you would be a great fit for the team.

Very brief, mostly about my past teaching experience. I also shared a little bit about my favorite classes in college and what I could bring from those experiences. As a past GSI at Berkeley, I found the interview for the reader to be very easy.

Very simple interview, just asked about past experiences, how to handle difficult situations, and future goals. One on one interview with current lab manager and another interview with the PI.

Super quick and fast turn around. I was hired last minute so the paper work took a month (after my appointment) to be finished, but if you have a contact, the process usually goes fast.

30 minutes, 2 interviewers, mostly behavioral questions (leadership, why this course, etc.), pretend that you're explaining a problem to fifty students. List of questions are provided a couple of days before interview
