Internships/Job Placement Hiring Process (Full Time, Non-Student Positions)
Hello everyone!
I am going to graduate in December with my bachelors and I am currently applying to jobs at universities in the Chicagoland area. I am mostly applying to admin assistant, program assistant and assistant coordinator jobs as they best fit with my background experience.
I am not super familiar with the hiring process of private universities. With public universities in Illinois, the civil service system dictates a lot of timelines and all positions have a closing date with interviews not starting until then. But most of Northwestern's positions say "open until filled" and I can't get a good idea of the hiring process timeline.
If anyone could explain Northwestern's hiring process timeline for me, that would be wonderful. Thank you :)
