I applied online. I interviewed at Fairfield University (Fairfield, CT) in Sept 2025
Interview
Straightforward, conversational. Many followup meetings, long email correspondence. The position is unique so this is totally reasonable, and I never felt put off by the vibes of the archives team.

Great process with the responsibilities clearly laid out and benefits as well. I would recommend going through the interview process with them. It was also nice that the interview was with a friendly staff member who was able to share their direct experience thus far.
