      Providence, RI
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Brown University (Providence, RI) in Aug 2012

      Interview

      I applied through my school and was accepted for an internship. They asked me a few questions about my background and studies. My future career factored into working here, as I am looking to work in the Archival / Cultural Institution industry. There was a short trial period to establish if I was qualified for the position.

      I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Brown University

      Once I was recommended by a professor, it was a done deal. I did have to submit a Background Check, and some other paperwork. (Letter of recommendation, statement of intent, etc.) Nothing too hard.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Brown University (Providence, RI) in Mar 2014

      Interview

      It was an interview in the office with one of the directors. It was in person and one-on-one with the director of research. She was very kind and welcoming and asked many questions related to my resume and previous work experience. Additionally my education and relevant classes were also discussed. Many of the questions also related to leadership capabilities, times that I worked independently and research capability, as well as experience speaking with senior executives. Following the initial interview an offer of employment was made promptly.
