Q&A With UNC Charlotte Employees

That can be tricky. Because it is a state agency, the job descriptions are prescribed by the state. Not unheard of to move up within your career, but most IT people do not move quickly or regularly.

Internships are unpaid/arranged for credit if the academic department and the department needing work can agree. A better approach might be getting a student job in a unit that aligns with your major or interests.

Curiosity (learn new skills/meet new people) Humility (admit it if you don't know something or if you made a mistake; be open to learning from everyone) Meet users/customers where they are This is not a bro culture. Expect to be evaluated on what you contribute, and do not be sexist, racist, or dumb.

Keep in mind that there is a central IT division and multiple IT departments in other areas. It also depends on whether you are applying for phone support, programming, or desktop/local hardware and software support. There are no trick questions. The hiring manager/s will be interested in your actual education, experience, and interests. Additionally, the interviewers/hiring managers will hope to gauge how well you'll fit with the university culture, specific to the department in which you want to work. Expect at least two interviews, possibly on separate days, possibly via phone or Skype for the first one. Don't be nervous. The point of the interview is to get to know you and for you to get to know the job and then come to the best possible conclusion for everyone.
