I applied online. I interviewed at Miami University
Interview
Online application is due by the end of the fall semester and a lot of first year students will miss this. Interview itself was rather easy and very general. Interview is designed to get to know you as a person and see why you are interested in the position rather than to test how smart you are. RA is a job that requires a good sense of ethics and moral. Make sure to present this side of your personality (if you have one).
The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Miami University (Oxford, OH) in Feb 2021
Interview
General questions about yourself, and about student health, safety, and quality experience. Make sure you talk about how you can include students and make them feel at home. Definitely prepare before hand.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Miami University
Interview
Meet with a current resident director and they ask how you would respond in various situations. They aim to get a sense of how you handle stressful situations and how you interact with others.
First there was a group interview where you rotated through different situations to see how you reacted in specific situations relating to the position. Then there was an individual interview with a Resident Director and current Resident Assistant from a randomly assigned building.
