Application

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at University of Maryland (College Park, MD) in Feb 2016

Interview

Interview for School Counseling program consisted of a full day including an equity small group discussion, Q&A, small group interview, and writing sample. Gives very good information about the program itself. Small group interview was interesting in that it only consisted of the interviewer asking questions one at a time and going around to speak. I would recommend making sure you look like a team player in the small group interview, rather than just talking to get a word in. Personally, I made sure to comment on others' contributions as well.

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at University of Maryland (College Park, MD) in Jan 2011

Interview

The most important aspect of the interview process is to ensure alignment between the adviser's work and student's research interests. If the student's interests diverge from those of the potential adviser's, it is crucial that the student verify that his or her research goals can be accommodated under the particular professor's mentor-ship and funding scheme.

I interviewed at University of Maryland (College Park, MD) in Mar 2010

Interview

Got an email scheduling phone interviews in March. They suggested to use skype. The faculty member was very nice and we briefly discussed our research. But since the professor was not working in that particular area. I focused on the methods and the generous results. Finally, he asked if I have any questions about the graduate program or the university

Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
