Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard resume and experience questions. Why Columbia, Why New York, etc.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Columbia University (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
The interview was about 20 minutes, mostly asking questions about my background and data management. The interview might have been short because it was for a temp position, I was supposed to meet with the manager but they weren't available so I met with an associate.
