At first i was happy to do the interview through teams which was about an hour and that i would be told next steps the following week for the 2nd round of interviews on a more technical level. All who i had as a contact was The Executive assistant for Dr. Cole Allen who what appears to be has ghosted me as I heard nothing back for a whole week despite an email follow-up on the job as i was awaiting next steps. If she wasn't available it should be passed on to the person who is in the loop. This is base level communication with candidates looking to work for you.
For a university that prides itself on being a "nationally ranked and recognized for its top-quality STEM education, career outcomes, and outstanding affordability". They sure do not live up to the professionalism required to hold that.
"Steadfast Integrity" is one of their guiding principles they share that they hold. This was not shown. Very disappointing experience.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Florida Polytechnic University (Lakeland, FL) in Mar 2025
Interview
The interview took place over Microsoft Teams, and the dress code was business casual. Present during the interview were myself, the Director of Admissions, the Associate Vice President of Enrollment Management, and the Enrollment Data Analyst.
In addition to discussing my work experience, I was asked to prepare and present a demonstration of a portfolio or dashboard that I had recently worked on or helped create, either in PowerBI or Tableau. They also requested experience with Salesforce, as well as skills in forecasting, calculating projections, Java and Python coding, and machine learning. Overall, the interview turned out to be more challenging than I had initially expected.

Screening, then 2 video interviews with various people. Asked questions related to the position and then some situational ones. People seemed excited and had things to share as well. Overall a smooth experience.
