University of Phoenix Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details The hiring process when I first started was quite simple. You went through a phone interview, they requested an in person interview, hired, provided a 4 week training date, 4 week training, test (in or out phase), and a bit of floor training.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. You were given a starting salary, and provided information about what growth potential is like and if it was in your best interest to become employed then you accept. Easy as that.

Interview Details I went through the hiring process as long time ago, but the new process is all behavioral based questions. They concentrate on hearing different competencies in your responses. Just research behavioral based questions and you'll be good. They treat it like you are applying to be the President of the United States, but yeah, you are applying to an entry level position so you are in the right place. I think the whole purpose of it is to make sure that they are choosing people that can put up with the crappy pay for as long as possible.

Negotiation Details – Yeah, that's a joke, there is no negotiation, it's take it or leave it. As any advisor position you start at $38500 and you get the same benefits as everyone else.

Interview Details Applied online, did phone interview then took online behavioral test and questionnaire and went in for final interview. Met with supervisor and director of learning center

Interview Details The interview process for associate faculty members is as follow: (1) Phone interview with a recruiter (2) Four hour group interview that entails the applicant to teach a topic of their choice for 15 minutes (3) Five week in class orientation training on how to facilitate for the university (4) A mentorship with an established faculty member as you facilitate your first class. After the mentorship if you receive a satisfactory rating, you will be asked to join the university.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation. All new associate faculty members are offered the same contract amount regardless of experience.

Interview Details Applied for position online via the website, then a phone interview. from there invited to an initial group interview. If chosen from the group, they invite you back for a one-on-one interview, and then a smaller group interview with 2 or 3 managers.

Negotiation Details – Take it or leave it. no room for negotiation - at least for enrollment advisor positions

Interview Details In my case it was an open interview

Negotiation Details – no negotiation

Interview Details There is an personality test that you do on a computer first. If you meet the standards for that assessment, you will then be given a phone interview. If you meet those standards, you will then be granted a face-to-face interview with several directors. The questions are behavior based. They don't ask the "what would you if..." questions. The interview process is designed to prove you have the skills and competencies to work effectively within the organization. Either you have them or you don't. If you make it to the face-to-face, you have a pretty good chance.

Interview Details First received a phone call asking about the understanding of the job. Based on what you idea of the job is and experience you are called in for an interview. The interview is very basic questions with a role play of a student conversation. I believe now all interviews are more behavioral questions. After that you are either offered the job or denied.

Negotiation Details – All new advisers started at the same salary, no negotiation.

Interview Details First interview by phone by area training manager. Second interview on campus by Enrollment manager I would work directly under. Did not show me the noisy call center like environment I would be working in. (everyone in the same room...dividers low so you could see and hear everyone at once. Nor was I able to meet co-workers prior to being hired. Was not made aware that this was a high pressure sales job.

Negotiation Details – They told me at the very start of the first interview that the salary would be $32,000 a year and asked if I would be ok with that. If not ok, the interview would stop there. That didn't much leave room to negotiate once I knew more about the job. I would have liked to receive the job offer before committing to a salary. Once you know they want you, you are in a stronger position to negotiate.
