Purdue University interview questions

phone called, and then asked for interest for PhD. Decide to go with PhD and get funding for RAship and TAship all those goof stuffs. Interview is not hard, checked what my interest was and asked if want to work together.

IMPORTANT: This process has very likely changed since I was hired. Submitted resume via email to the job. Heard back within a day or two to schedule a phone interview. Phone interview asked questions such as: Why did you choose Purdue? What are your interests? How would you convince someone who knew nothing about Purdue to come to this school? Immediately after answering the interview questions, I was offered to come in for a face-to-face interview. At this interview, similar questions were asked. I had to spontaneously convince the interviewer why she should buy my watch. If I recall correctly, the same person did both interviews and hired me. She was also a student worker. After being hired, there is about a week or two of paid training, and then you start for real on a "probationary" period for about another 2 weeks.
