      Orientation Staff Member Interview

      Mar 7, 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Santa Barbara, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UC Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara, CA) in Jan 2012

      Interview

      This is not an easy interview process. The staff is looking to put together a very diverse, yet still cohesive staff. The interviews really expose your ability to work as a team, think on your feet, and provide honest information to incoming students and parents. Interviews include a quiz-style interview where you answer questions about the LASAR (academic requirements for letters and science), student panel where you work as a 4-person team to answer questions from "parents," and a group interview filled with small team exercises.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How would you handle (certain types of parents and ridiculous things they could say)?
