Interview
I had a phone call then briefly met with the 2 directors of the program I applied for. The interview process was very casual. I met with one of the directors and interviewed as we walked to a meeting they were going to.
I recently interviewed at Columbia University and went through a two round process. The first was a virtual interview with the Director of Operations, and the second was an in person panel with the entire team. It lasted about three hour which I learned, is pretty standard in higher ed.
I was nervous at first, but everyone I met was professional, friendly, and welcoming. That helped ease the pressure and allowed me to focus on showing my work ethic. I highly recommend practicing answers to office management, technology, and scenario-based questions, it really helped me feel more prepared.
Pro tip: bring a bottle of water, trust me, you'll be glad you did. 😊

Interview
There was a 3-hour interview with 9 people - partially over zoom in an office alone and partially in person. It was very intense. I had to keep taking my mask on and off for the different interviews. Zoom made things difficult because there were slight delays that led to people speaking over each other. I had never heard of an interview like this
