I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Stanford University (Stanford, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
There was no interview for me. I showed up to the lab and talked to the PhD that was working in it. He told me about some of the projects he was working on as well a project we could do over the summer. I thought it was cool so I decided to work with him.
I applied online. I interviewed at Stanford University
Interview
They were a bit unorganized, their questions did not sync together so in the beginning I was a bit thrown off. I had someone interview me from a completely different department than what I applied for. Overall I would say it went well, it was the basic list of interview questions that most employers read from.

Question 1
Asked the basic questions - Tell me about one of the larges events you put on. Tell me about a time where things didn't go as planned and how you solved it. Explain yourself in three words. Tell me something about yourself that you can improve on. why should we hire you? - it was really the basic questions that all employers ask. They gave me a synopsis of my job description which turned out to be about 15% of what I actually do.

Interview
I had a phone interview with the manager and was then invited to meet with members of the department for whom I would work. The individual interviews lasted anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. My references were also contacted. Everyone was very professional and overall, it was a very positive experience.
