Research Assistant Interview

Jan 9, 2017

Anonymous employee

Accepted offer

Positive experience

Average interview

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at UNC Chapel Hill (Chapel Hill, NC) in Dec 2015

Interview

Casual interview, quick and professional with genuine interest in personal interests and goals. It was conducted in the morning in a professor's office. Nothing atypical, just a basic question and interview, but the professor tried to make it conversational which was helpful for reducing nerves. Great first impression of the department and staff.

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at UNC Chapel Hill (Medford, MA) in Jan 2016

Interview

I got the interview two weeks after application. It was a 30-min skype call with mainly behavior questions. Start me resume and past experiences. And another big part was why I am interested in accounting. I gave some general answers that correlates with my experience. A third one I remember is what is the challenge and things to catch up if you were admitted.
