I applied online. I interviewed at UC Davis in May 2026
Interview
1 interview with search committee/panel. Reference check initiated 4 business days later and complete within 48 hours. No update for more than 2 weeks with follow up. I was given a timeline for a decision, twice, that was not adhered to. The hiring manager ghosted me completely in the end, only found out that I was not being offered the job by checking the candidate portal. Overall, unprofessional standards for communication throughout the hiring process, especially for a finalist.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe your management style and how you would respond to an underperforming employee.
Applied via Handshake and received notice via email. Interview was scheduled promptly and took less than 30 minutes to complete. The interviewer was kind and friendly. She asked common questions and thoroughly enjoyed my answers.
Fairly well. All interviewers were very polite and kind. The interview itself was basically only about 15 minutes since the purpose was for general screening, but all in all, they were very helpful in guiding the applicants through the interview process.
