Application
I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at West Coast University (Orange, CA) in May 2019.
Interview
It stuck to the main topic which was enrolling previous students and helping the process. Then upon further question took a dive into my personality and traits I posses on the job. There were a lot of questions but I felt I was prepared to answer them.
