I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Elon University in Aug 2012
Interview
Very laid back; asked more questions about personal life than work skills. They understood that I was only beginning my college career and that I would not know much. Helped me to learn more about Elon and get acquainted to the school because the office exposed me to more aspects of Elon than a normal freshman would be exposed to.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Elon University (Elon, NC) in May 2014
Interview
Began with phone interview round, followed by an in-person presentation and question round. Presentation was in front of about 20 people. Knowing people in the office is valuable to make it to the phone round. Phone round focuses on content of answers, whereas presentation focuses on interpersonal skills. After group presentation, expect to sit down with several deans, apart from the larger group.
