The entire interview process was not very difficult. I initially just sent a request to the department to see if there were any positions for any research to be done. I was contacted and asked to meet in person with a professor. Just a basic interview to make sure that I was qualified to analyze a system that was being updated. There was some checks to make sure that I have had some quality experience that would be applicable to the jobs I would need to do. These checks were all oral and there was no references asked for any background information on the projects that I had previously worked on. Overall, way easy to get the job, as long as you have the required skills. Otherwise, it could get pretty difficult. To get the job, you need to probably be involved in the department pretty heavily.
