I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Harvard University (Boston, MA) in Jan 2019
Interview
Got an email for a phone interview, and afterwards to come in for an in-person interview. I’m not sure if the interviewer was having a bad day and I got the bad end of it, but I felt like I was wasting her precious time. When she walked in the first thing she asked was “do you have any questions for me?”. I was not sure how to answer since that’s not normally how an interview goes. She then seemed to roll her eyes every time I answered a question and kept staring at her watch. Oh and she also told me that it was Harvard so people expect full professionalism in what employees wear. Making it seem like my business-casual outfit wasn’t up to par, even though she was in a tank top. I have never left an interview feeling so defeated and belittled.
