      Student Worker Interview

      Oct 17, 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Santa Barbara, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at UC Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara, CA)

      Interview

      I applied online at GauchoLink and heard back about two weeks later. I went in for an interview and about two days later I was hired. This was for an administrative student assistant job at the Office of Admissions. I talked a lot about my volunteer experience because I did not have work experience yet. I interviewed with two people and they were both very nice and made me feel it was a relaxed interview. They talked about what the job was like and asked me questions relating to how I would do those things.

      Question 1

      How do you feel about doing repetitive work?

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UC Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara, CA) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      Simple, 8 question interview. I was able to read the questions 5 minutes before hand so I could think about them. I got referred by an existing employee so I was able to feel a bit more confident going into it. The interview was with two supervisors in an office on campus.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at UC Santa Barbara in Sep 2014

      Interview

      So they had either both student managers or one student manager to run the interview. For me, I had one student manager give me the interview. They had asked a lot about my work ethic, previous jobs I have had, customer service experience, work study eligibility, amount of units I was taking, why the interest in the position, if I had a driver's license, etc.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Give me an experience where you had to deal with an irate customer.
