I interviewed at Pepperdine University (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
They were kind and asked forward questions. I shared about a time when I failed and learned from it and what I will bring to the team. They were honest about benefits and work environment.
It was a quick phone interview. I sent an email the week before, but they did not reply so I sent a follow-up emails. The interview went smoothly and it was a learning experience.
