\nI was selected for both roles by interview. I completed a traditional interview with a solo interviewer for the peer tutor job. However, for the student advocate role, I was interviewed by a panel through Zoom.

\nQuote: “It’s a very simple three-step process”
\nThe selection process I would say is fairly straightforward. The first step is an application process, which is basically like a form that you have to fill out. A local form and once you contact the, either the, you'll be contacting the H.R. person or another way to contact them is through email or Instagram, which is @enactuscentennial, just like that, where candidates are given the application form to fill out. And once that's done, they're invited for a virtual interview and they're there to ask a couple of questions and then, later on, will get selected. And if they're selected at that point they'll meet with our president and our project manager, depending on what they're working on. And just like that. So it's a three-step process, very simple. And I would say it's not as intimidating as you think it is.

\nQuote: “I saw the job posting on HireCentennial”
\nI saw the job posting on HireCentennial, which is Centennial's exclusive online job search and resource portal. Based on the job posting, I formatted my resume and cover letter and applied through HireCentennial. Within a week or two, I received an email for the job interview. It was a virtual interview with the coordinator and H.R assistant of the Career Services Department. The interview process was pretty straightforward. At first the employer introduced herself and then I was asked to talk about myself. It was kind of easy for me as I had prepared and practiced my elevator speech for over a thousand times before the interview. Then there was a question-answer round where I was a couple of situational and skill-based questions. I was also asked about my strengths, weaknesses, why I think I'm a good fit for this role, and so on. After the question-answer session, the employer gave me the floor to ask if I have any questions. Before the interview, I did research and prepared 2 to 3 questions that I would ask the employer at the end of the interview. For example, what are their expectations from the candidate and when they are going to inform the candidate about their decision? The employer answered all my questions respectfully and before ending the interview I thank the employer for interviewing me.
