Congrats on your decision to go for an on-campus job at Trinity University. While I can't provide information specifically about Trinity University's interviewing process, I can provide some pointers that should help you prepare.
Typically, on-campus job interviews tend to be more casual than traditional job interviews. Nonetheless, the interviewer will likely assess your communication skills, problem-solving abilities, level of commitment, and compatibility with the job’s schedule requirements.
Common questions you may encounter include:
1. Why are you interested in this position?
2. What skills or experiences do you possess that make you suitable for this job?
3. How will you balance your academic responsibilities with your work responsibilities?
4. Describe a time you faced a challenge at work (or in a group project) and how you handled it.
5. Can you tell me about a time you had to deal with a difficult coworker or classmate?
Remember, though the questions are usually more general, it's a good idea to have specific examples from your experiences to illustrate your points.
Do make an effort to familiarize yourself with the specifics of the job you're applying for. This should help you anticipate more specific questions.
