Good communication skill and understanding of materials are important. Usually the professors are the same as who you have taken classes with and perform well. Then there would be no problem.

Solve a question on blackboard and discuss the solution.
I applied online. I interviewed at Boston University in May 2026
Interview
The interview process was expeditious, with a short phone interview with two ADs, followed by an hour-long virtual interview with three higher-level staff members, then another hour-long interview later that week with the Executive Director. Everyone was absolutely lovely and treated me as their equal, which was appreciated as an interviewee.
I was told to expect outreach in 2-3 weeks for references, as three roles were open and looking to be filled by mid-June. I followed up at the end of week two, received a response a week later that there was no update, and then received an automated rejection from a no-reply HR email address 10 days later.
I can understand not being selected, but being given the run-around by such an esteemed institution is absolutely unacceptable. Please pare down your applicant pool before moving folks through the process so rapidly-- This was an astonishingly disappointing process.
