I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) in Jan 2018
Interview
Director of Annual Fund department emailed directly for an in-person interview with 8 of her team members. She seemed to have a great personality, loves her team, and values their perspective on selecting the newest team member. She kept saying that she would update candidates by a specific date, never did. I followed up via email, and she moved the date. Still did not follow up on that date.
