      Application

      The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yale University (New Haven, CT) in Jun 2008

      Interview

      After interviewing with the human resource director at the School of management i was set up to interview for several positions within the school of management each time interviewing with multiple professors who i would be working with. Overall a good experience felt that some of the professors were not interested because they thought that I would not stay in the position very long

      Zoom interview with department heads for the 1st interview, went straight to questions, barely wanted to know about my experience. No time to even ask questions at the end. Just question after question.

      Question 1

      Asked many very specific questions to see if I had the exact same experience performing exactly those tasks. No job is the same!
