I applied online. I interviewed at Northwestern University (Evanston, IL) in Apr 2016
Interview
This face-to-face interview was a pre-screening for potential temp and temp to full-time positions at the Evanston campus. Prior to the interview, they required me to take proficiency tests for Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and Powerpoint. There were lots of forms to fill out. They requested my permission to do an extensive screening (background, drugs, etc) if I were offered a job.
