I applied online. I interviewed at American University (Washington, DC) in May 2016
Interview
Thorough process with friendly folks. I liked everyone I met during the interview process. The pay, however, is very low at AU. They could keep people longer at their positions if they had higher salaries. Invest in people!
There were two interviews- the first was a phone interview followed by on-campus. The on campus interview consisted of meeting and interviewing with my supervisor and one other advisor. I found a great deal of value in their interview process as they did not just ask canned questions and rather were interested in learning more about me as a person and seeing if I would fit and work well with the office and supervisor.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at American University (Washington, DC) in Feb 2014
Interview
The interview lasted a half-day. I spoke with many of the hiring panelists in appointments back to back. A member of the department’s hiring team contacted me to set up a time. (If you don’t live in Yukon, initial interviews may be conducted by phone or Internet video.) Now, this was my chance to do some background research and to gather together everything I needed to come to the interview confident and prepared. It was my first experience with this interview style, so I knew I needed to prepare.
