I applied through college or university. I interviewed at UC San Diego (San Diego, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
Round 1: online form application
Round 2: group interview
Round 3: individual interview
During the group interview, we were asked to plan a project for students. During the individual interview, we were asked with multiple interpersonal and communication questions.
The interview is a three-part process. Starting with a written component, you write a series of short essay questions. If you are selected to move forward in the hiring process, you go on to a first round of interviews and, if selected, onto a second interview from which they make their final decisions.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Based on your current knowledge of the Resident Assistant/House Advisor position, describe the various job roles and functions. What do you expect to gain from the RA/HA position? Please describe the areas where you feel you could excel, and explain which areas you feel you may have room for improvement.
Serving as a residential staff member involves a range of complex responsibilities, including role-modeling adherence to policies, and the ability to hold others accountable. Success depends on strong core principles and values. How might your values and habits shape your accountability and communication practices? How might you utilize your strengths to be outstanding in your community?
Student leaders are expected to promote, teach and model UC San Diego's Principles of Community and to keep communities accountable. Given the Principles of Community, what does an inclusive community mean to you and what tools would you use to create an inclusive residential community?
There are rounds of interviews that focus on leadership and diversity experiences. There may also be hypothetical situations. Be sure to have examples ready. There is a different interview for returning staff.
